To Grade or Not to Grade…Is that the Question? | The Reflective Teacher

https://tcsamaripa.wordpress.com/2013/06/04/to-grade-or-not-to-grade-is-that-the-question

June 4, 2013. To Grade or Not to Grade…Is that the Question? I recently read a fabulous article. By a middle school principal who is asking very important questions about what grading should look like. Make sure you read the entire article! I had originally planned to write my own two cents, but then the title of this post popped into my head. I started to think, could I actually take Hamlet’s soliloquy and create a monologue of my own about grading? So without further ado…. And by opposing end them?

Perpetual Pick Up Sticks | The Reflective Teacher

https://tcsamaripa.wordpress.com/2015/01/13/flipclass-twitter-blogging?share=email

January 13, 2015. Perpetual Pick Up Sticks. I’m technically doing the work of two jobs. I teach a 10th grade English class and am also the high school literacy coach. I’m currently (ok perpetually) struggling between finding enough prep time and helping teachers locate literacy resources, coaching teachers, and developing our new sustained silent reading program. Nearly 2 years ago and much better I might add. Writing in the Digital Age. About Time We Learn! 3 thoughts on “ Perpetual Pick Up Sticks.

Engaging the Writer | The Reflective Teacher

https://tcsamaripa.wordpress.com/2013/06/23/engaging-the-writer

June 23, 2013. One of the needs expressed by teachers this past spring was a desire to focus more on writing instruction. We have noticed that our students struggle quite a bit with writing. Even students who appear to have very little delay in reading. Students show an ability to understand what they are reading but struggle to pose their own thoughts in writing. What is missing in writing instruction that will help students make gains? I recently read a fabulous article on Linking Genre to Standards.

February 24, 2015. How You Play the Game. So the question of the night focused on “what does deeper learning look like in your classroom? 8221; My first reaction was, it doesn’t happen.

Writing in the Digital Age | The Reflective Teacher

https://tcsamaripa.wordpress.com/2014/07/27/writing-in-the-digital-age

July 27, 2014. Writing in the Digital Age. Teachers, parents, administrators are right to be afraid of this increase in students’ public interactions but instead of blocking applications and writing stricter policy geared toward monitoring and reigning in student access to the internet, we should be providing them appropriate interactions that allow them to learn digital citizenship and engage in educational activities without making them digital hermits.
