A terrific Friday of learning with #KSHGSS teachers in Oakley!

Pairs work together to analyze an image & use the strategy of “Linking Language” from the book “Making Time for Social Studies” by Rachel Swearingin.

Two participants from the Colby district use the strategy “Weighing the Evidence”

Participants “Move, Match, & Make Connections” with the Constructive Coaching Tool.

Participants try out “Weighing the Evidence” by placing the quotes in the order of their weight as evidence over the topic Should the Colonies Revolt?

Had the opportunity to work with 3rd grade through high school teachers & staff with the Lynden, WA district doing some @avid4college.bsky.social “Academic Language & Literacy” work for the past 2 days. Very impressed with their investment in AVID & their students’ futures. #AVID4Possibility

Today was one of those days I love as a teacher. Sixth grade was finishing up their homesteading #simulation. Ledgers, and maps, and journals, oh my! Seventh grade prepared for their Stuctured Academic Controversy: keep or abolish the #ElectoralCollege. They have opinions! I love what I do!!!
