ADDRESS ANXIETY TO BOOST LEARNING By focusing on student anxiety and the need to feel safe, teachers can help kids experience the self-regulation they need for learning, says Gravity Goldberg. #edusky @drgravityg.bsky.social #educoach @larryferlazzo.bsky.social www.middleweb.com/52328/addres...

While music can boost energy levels and improve focus, it’s most effective before learning, not during. During learning, music adds to cognitive load, creating an unnecessary burden on working memory. Learn more in @drgravityg.bsky.social article inspired by her newest book: substack.com/@drgrav...

The Body-Brain Connection and Our Students’ Need for Safety substack.com/@drgravity1/...

Sharing a draft of instructional practices that support grammar and punctuation that can be integrated into any curriculum. Make it your own and make it better. It’s a quick first draft. What I do know is students need lots of engaging practice across domains. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Studying language and it’s connection to reading, speaking, and writing skills with 4th grade teachers. We also added in visuals and gestures. It’s all connected!

We asked 12th graders reading a complex text what they paid attention to as they read today. Here is a chart that captures what we discovered after conferring with them. Big takeaway… they notice a lot but don’t always have the academic words to name it. We just gave it a name.

Meeting with my college students about their final papers and almost all went over the page limit telling me they just got so into the topics. Choice is so important for writers of all ages! And now I get to read them all knowing each one will be different.

Use turn and talk with students for low risk practice. @danaclarklit.bsky.social share great ideas! www.drgravitygoldberg.com

Last day of the senior seminar of the semester. My students presented their capstone projects and it was beautiful. One of them reflected, “I love how our identities were connected to our projects.” They literally applauded each other. Savoring this moment because they don’t all feel like this.

If you are headed into a family gathering and feeling anxious take a minute to ground yourself. It is also helpful to do this with our kids. Best thing to bring to Thanksgiving is a regulated nervous system.

A moment from my #NCTE24 session where we looked at metaphorical language and then moved our bodies to understand the feeling and meaning. Fun, effective, and engaging! #thebodybrainconnection

Just rereading & updating this great post by Gravity Goldberg. She's here on Bluesky: @drgravityg.bsky.social ARE YOU A TOUR GUIDE TEACHER OR A CO-EXPLORER? Do teachers always need to plan every step of the learning journey? #iteachEnglish #edusky #ELAteacher www.middleweb.com/35097/are-yo...

Great session at #NCTE24 with old friends. Inquiry exploration around citizenship.

Would love to connect in person if you are at #NCTE24

My new book with Corwin Press is coming this May. If you’re at #NCTE24 come get a sneak peek Sunday morning.

First post on here. Really hoping to find the joy of connection that we used to have on Twitter. I’m optimistic.
