So excited to share my new book is out in the world! It's beautiful, but it's also SO practical -- including videos to show your students, workbook reproducibles to print. I can't wait for you to see it! Available from Solution Tree or on Amazon! www.solutiontree.com/mini-moves-f...

I wish I had Brett’s wisdom last year….if you teach writing, this is a must-read.

Cheating with #AI in English class is a big problem, but here are four helpful lines I use to get kids talking and valuing their own voice. Maybe you’ll find some to adapt and use next school year 🙂 @rebekahodell1.bsky.social @corwinpress.bsky.social movingwriters.org/2025/06/23/w...

Besides Beers + Probst, do you have favorite professional texts for teaching nonfiction reading? #edusky #english #ela

My brain is a little bit broken right now, and I need some suggestions: a text to teach above-level 7th grade readers with a focus on character analysis. Help?

I have questions about the San Diego Quick Assessment of Reading Ability. Anyone use it? Or know anything about it?

"The goal of a flash draft is *not* to do incredible writing," reminds educator @rebekahodell1.bsky.social "The goal is ... to overcome our fear of the blank page." Here's how she supports her Ss in achieving it:

@thevogelman.bsky.social has a new book coming out this year about AI and writing instruction! And he's hosting a Moving Writers webinar about it next month! movingwriters.org/2025/01/13/a...

I've been thinking a lot about the death of the research paper and the rise of authentic research in EVERY mode of writing ... #edusky #english #ela movingwriters.org/2025/01/11/m...

I've Changed My Mind about _______. This is a great #mentortext for student argument writing: * Previous opinion? (Previous Claim + Outline of Previous Reasons) * Why revise? (New Reasons +Evidence) Mine would be about WICKED. :) What would yours be about? drive.google.com/file/d/1JhNd...

While @candersonwriting.bsky.social ‘s fabulous book is marketed as k-6, I used his activities with huge success with 8th graders!

Let's all resolve in 2025 to prioritize high-engagement writing units of study--like fantasy writing! Details: corwin.com/books/teachi...

Mentor text uploading ….

This is brilliant. Trying it next week! choiceliteracy.com/article/read...

Me too! 😊 I wrote about it here: community.theeducatorcollaborative.com/writing-help...

Notebook inspiration for risk-free student writing #english #edusky #mentortext

We asked kids if it was ethical for teachers to use AI to grade. They had thoughts. #edusky www.nytimes.com/2024/12/05/l...

I'm sharing strategies, lesson plans, and a unit plan for teaching grammar with mentor texts! #English #EduSky movingwriters.org/2024/12/05/t...

Our job is becoming how to teach Ss with higher comprehension on screens. @caroljago.bsky.social

When Ss don’t read, they don’t connect with the larger world. And then they wonder why they are bored. @caroljago.bsky.social

“Guess what? There were never any good old days where all 36 students did the reading.” @caroljago.bsky.social

“Much of teaching is being a trickster.” @caroljago.bsky.social

Notebook work inspiration for my students next week from @briannawiest.bsky.social

Let’s gamify poetry discussion in our classrooms! Tomorrow I will share Explicate: the poetry analysis card game of my design at NCTE’s Classroom Idea Exchange. #ncte24

My lesson plans for the last two weeks and pictures of what life looked like in my classroom. #english movingwriters.substack.com/p/what-we-di...

Post-Its might be the greatest writing tool we have at our disposal -- especially for writers who are hesitant writers or writers who are perfectionists and worry about "messing up". They allow us to ideate and try on new ideas, new structures with such ease. #english

A sentence study for your students today from the beautiful new young adult book by @ahoffmanwriter.bsky.social:

I will really miss you, #ncte24. ♥️ Sending love to Boston.

Loved going on a coaching call with @rebekahodell1.bsky.social - thank you for the opportunity to chat and to share your strategies with me!

If you’re looking for some at-home professional development this year, we’ve got lots going on at #MovingWriters! movingwriters.substack.com/p/announcing...

Today’s sentence study. In 7 minutes, we noticed handfuls of writing moves. In 4 minutes, we were able to practice them ourselves. Borrow it! Try it! Start with, “What do you notice?”

Recently I had a coaching call with Dawn to figure out how we could make the student-centered work of her classroom more quantitative to meet the needs to IEP/504 goals AND show the progress all her students are making. #eng movingwriters.substack.com/p/coaching-c...

The beautiful writing leftovers from virtual PD with Alberta teachers this afternoon! ♥️ #ncte
