Water still coming in @KewGolfClub and as each hour passes more of the place goes under.
Hoping to see some reduction in river level by lunchtime which might save some greens, others already gone under

What's your favorite way to get Ss to move past "I don't know"?

ALT Poster titled "What to say instead of 'I don't know.'" The tips are as following: "1. May I please have some more information 2. May I please have some time to think? 3. Would you please repeat the question? 4. Where could I find more information about that? 5. May I ask a friend for help?"

The biggest change seen in schools implementing CLARITY is the level of specificity using reading and writing data on an ongoing basis to inform next steps in instruciton. instagram.com/p/CTpJ7WUjZL9/

“Turn and Talk” in the lower (and maybe upper) grades often ends up being two Ss talking AT each other. To encourage real engagement/listening, I’m moving to “Turn and Learn”: “Turn and learn your partner’s thoughts on ___”. Then asking Ss to share out what they learned.
