Explicit, systematic, differentiated small group instruction abounds @RESelem

Charts from today's SOR Spotlight School visit @RESelem (I failed to capture a picture of the 4th team's chart.) We witnessed outstanding instruction aligned to the SOR across each 3rd grade classroom. Student-centered coaching and embedded professional learning were evident.
Susan Booth Thornton retweeted
Writing was evident across @RESelem 3rd grade at our SOR Spotlight School visit. Look at what these students produced!

Thank you to Colbert Heights Elem for hosting a Learning Lab focused on OCR! The vulnerability by the principal & teachers to open their doors for others to observe OCR instruction after 6 weeks of implementation was very much appreciated by those in attendance. #strongertogether
Susan Booth Thornton retweeted
Check out this amazing tool! I am so thankful for all the innovative people that work to create helpful tools such as this for educators in Alabama👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
📢Newly released! This guide was developed as an instructional tool to support teachers, parents, and students in Grades K-3 with handwriting developmental skills. This guide will work in conjunction with the local district/school curriculum for handwriting.✏️

Agreed!!!! It is definitely a special place! Great job👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @DrAmyJones @angelarich2016 @MGreenhill74
@RussellvilleK12 is a K-3 @Alabama_Reading Focus School. When the superintendent, curriculum, lead, principal, reading coach, classroom teachers, and their ARI supports all sit, talk, plan, observe, and improve together great things result.
Susan Booth Thornton retweeted
Teaching practices we should no longer utilize when instructing students on how we read and spell words...
Susan Booth Thornton retweeted
Another takeaway from today's Science of Reading Spotlight School visit was the focus on explicit vocabulary instruction! We witnessed it in every 3rd grade classroom! Changing the trajectory @RESelem by utilizing LETRS strategies for vocabulary 📚👏
Susan Booth Thornton retweeted
Thank you, @RESelem for hosting today's Science of Reading Spotlight School visit. We had 32 in attendance. Those who visited witnessed exemplary 3rd grade ELA instruction aligned to the SOR.

Ms. Scott’s kindergartners @WeedenElem are working in Open Court Reading @McGrawHillK12 with the letter ‘Kk’ and ‘ck’ sound. @SusanARIWORLD was here observing and provided feedback to the reading specialist/IP, @RachelGraves256. #FCSLearn
Susan Booth Thornton retweeted
So proud of this amazing @north_alabama student teacher leading an Open Court Reading lesson in Kindergarten! She and her cooperating teacher @Martin051813 have been working so hard together to learn the program during CPT and teach it together! Keep it up ladies!
Susan Booth Thornton retweeted
Today we read one of the best articles I’ve ever read about reading instruction. The conversations we had after reading were amazing! “We abandoned what worked because we didn’t like how it felt to us as adults”. We have to remember we are here for the students, not us! #FCSLearn
