Less than three weeks until the start of our fall Higher Ed Community of Practice! Here's what the summer cohort had to say: “I liked hearing from the other instructors what content they were adding to their courses and their justification for doing so. It is giving me a lot of great ideas for my own course.” “There are so many valuable things that I will use. My class will be much more hands-on with students practicing the instructional techniques instead of me always doing the modeling.” “This course helped me to wrap my head around strategies to help undergraduate students understand the big picture.” 🗓️ Join us this fall for a six-week community of practice with other reading professors to learn more about teaching educator prep candidates about evidence-based literacy instruction. Through this community of practice, you will: 🔑 Explore key theories and instructional practices aligned with evidence-based literacy instruction 🧠 Receive access to journal articles and learning activities to include in your course syllabi that are aligned with the science of reading and educator certification standards 🤝 Expand your network by making connections with peers from other institutions Register here: https://bit.ly/3Uvz5NN

The EOY is just around the corner! 🎉 📢 K12 Special Education Teachers || Administrators || Instructional Assistants || Specialists With all the hard work poured into this school year, let’s be sure to end well: ✔ Measure outcomes, and ✔Celebrate your students! Wrapping up the 2023-2024 school year with strong data will leave you with a clear picture of the progress your students have made and a great sense of pride in all their accomplishments. And, while success looks differently for all of us, all students deserve to be recognized for their effort. Celebrating student successes, both big and small, can significantly boost classroom morale and a student’s sense of belonging at school. Plus it just feels good! There are a lot of ways to celebrate successes based on the different personalities and interests of the students in your class. Think beyond traditional recognition like honor roll ceremonies and consider all the ways to shout out your students’ efforts: Personalized shout-outs, notes home, and individualized certificates – like this one, which is 1 of 6 available for **free download** in our recent TeachTown blog about measuring outcomes and celebrating student success in the first comment.

You make two solid points here, Michael, including (1) a Master’s degree itself is weakly correlated to #TeacherExcellence and (2) paying teachers more overall would widen and deepen the pool of talented candidates. If I were starting my physics teaching career today, rather than 30 years ago, I would be able to command a near 6-figure salary in select parts of the country and that figure will only increase in the near term. One key point to add here regards the leaders with whom teachers work. Teachers are attracted to schools with world-class leadership…instructionally, organizationally, developmentally, etc. Teachers leave education due to factors that #SchoolLeadership directly controls. If we increase #PrincipalExcellence we will do more to improve the teacher pipeline than exorbitant raises ever could. s4e.com

The school year gets hectic, and it's easy to fall behind and hard to catch up. We get it! That's why we designed our summer programs: to instill good academic habits BEFORE school begins. Go to https://lnkd.in/gmw9m8_Z to learn more!
