IN Hyperdocs and 1-to-1 Learning
“Everyone is talking about best practices in 1-to-1 environs: how to get students close-reading, rather than rushing through to vocab matching games or directly to the questions in their online modules.” — Lara Zielinsky
Choice Reading
“When students possess the skills necessary to access, select, use, and effectively evaluate their reading materials, their ability to become engaged members of their communities and productive citizens is enhanced.” — Statement on Classroom Libraries
Critical Thinking
Christa Forster said, “After the election, I was especially committed to making [critical thinking] the driving [focus] of my 10th-grade English course.” Read this New York Timesarticle about a powerful activity she uses to do that.
Effective Writing Feedback
Accessibility
“I see a welcome trend in people wanting to learn more about how to make materials, teaching methods, and technologies more accessible for people with disabilities.”
— Patricia Dunn
