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.

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?

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.

How You Play the Game | The Reflective Teacher
https://tcsamaripa.wordpress.com/2015/02/24/how-you-play-the-game
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. My students and I are still hung up on grades. We’re still looking for the “win”. What about the journey? About Time We Learn! What are you doing for others? 2 thoughts on “ How You Play the Game.

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.

January 26, 2013. Hi, my name is Jo…. Here I am with more struggles and admissions of guilt🙂. I read a really interesting post here. That’s my year so far–a big fat ugly bulldog dressed in dazzling silver sequins and patent-leather cherry red Jimmy Choos (there is just something about red patent-leather that grabs my attention). 8221; “I say no! 8221; “Then push the button with your right hand”…hi, my name is Jo….

What are you doing for others? | The Reflective Teacher
https://tcsamaripa.wordpress.com/2015/05/19/what-are-you-doing-for-others
May 19, 2015. What are you doing for others? I haven’t posted in a while. I keep telling myself to participate in flipclass #flashblogs but nothing jumps out on the page. I’m stuck. A lot goes on in the classroom and I’m still making loads of mistakes, but I can’t reflect on them. My head is too full and my heart is too heavy. Baltimore happened a few weeks ago (or has a month passed by already? How do we even begin to discuss the gravity and intensity of a movement clinging to the heels of a hashtag?
