This week I'm thinking about how grateful I am for this incredible community - all the creative educators around the world who have tuned into an episode, shared an idea with a colleague, joined me in conversation as a guest, written a review, or sent in a question. Thank you!  Today we're going to kick off a special five day series revisiting top interviews from the last decade of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast. We'll hear from Penny Kittle, Dr. Sarah Fine, Dr. Claudia Rodriguez-Mojica and Dr. Allison Briceño, Dave Stuart Jr., and Angela Stockman. We'll explore the power of choice reading, discuss what creates situations of deeper learning, dive into strategies to combat student apathy, and find out how to get started with the writing makerspace.

“Can we use generative AI in a way that teaches us something that we might not have known otherwise, and in that learning… create something that actually has the potential to increase agency for all inside of the system?” Good question, Angela Stockman! It is, in fact, one of many good questions that Stockman, the author of *The Writer's Guide to Pedagogical Documentation,* raises as our guest on *The Resonance Test.* In this episode, Stockman joins Kristen Heist, Senior Director of Innovation Consulting at EPAM Continuum, and our Brian Imholte to dig deep into Gen AI and education. Part of that digging involves the art of *asking questions.* Heist says that while building a tutor with input from educators, teachers have been “pushing us to design tools that follow the principles of Socratic method” and not just giving the answers to students. Stockman agrees saying that teachers don't want to see “learners leaning on AI tools just to generate answers or to produce work in ways that you know undermine their opportunity to sharpen their own saw.” The hope is that students will become keen enough to create whole new ways of doing things—and that teachers will, too. Part of teachers' craft, says Heist, is “learning what works for their students, learning what their students understand, learning who their students are.” But the reality is that teachers are extremely time-constrained. And this makes personalization a challenge. Stockman says that for teachers “who are working with sometimes over one hundred students in a single day,” personalization is “kind of unrealistic”—but a GenAI tutor can truly help. The real focus is where GenAI tools can, as Heist says, “elevate the teacher's craft,” as opposed to replacing what they're currently doing. And let's not forget data! Stockman says that AI is “helping us scoop the data out of their lived learning experiences. We don't have to bring learning to a halt in order to assess what's going on and it can help us with the interpretation of massive amounts of qualitative data.” If you have questions about GenAI and EDU, and you know you do, listen up.

Today we are joined by Angela Stockman. Angela is a veteran secondary English/Language Arts teacher, author, and professional learning facilitator. She has presented at state, national, and international levels and has led curriculum, assessment, and instructional design projects in over 100 school districts.She has written books and resources on writing instruction, including The Writing Workshop Teacher's Guide to Multimodal Composition, Creating Inclusive Writing Environments in the K-12 Classroom, and the recently released The Writing Teacher's Guide to Pedagogical Documentation: Rethinking How We Assess Learners and Learning, which we're talking about today.Links:The Writing Workshop Teacher's Guide to Multimodal CompositionAngela Stockman's website Hosted on Acast.

Remember when research projects involved stacks of books and notecards? Yeah, me too. But we all know research has changed. I recently finished a couple of pedagogy books for English teachers - one by Angela Stockman on designing inclusive spaces for writers, and another by Katie Novak on Universal Design for Learning in the English classroom. And beyond the many wonderful ideas I took away from them, I was also struck by the variation in the sources they referred to. Sure, they cited texts. But they also cited Ted Talks, telephone calls, online articles, online compendiums, and more. Their information came from a digital rainbow of sources. Our students naturally work the same way. As digital natives, they've grown up with the whole online world at their fingertips, and their natural first line of research is probably not a book. So how do we direct them through the research process, given the incredible variety of possible sources available to them? That's what today's quick episode is about.

This week I'm lucky enough to be in dialogue with two educators and authors whose work I've admired for quite some time. Rebekah O'Dell is a classroom teacher and author of Writing with Mentors and Beyond Literary Analysis and Matthew Johnson a high school English teacher and author of Flash Feedback. In addition to being dynamic teachers and insightful authors, they also design powerful professional learning experiences for fellow educators. In fact, this summer they, alongside friend of the show Angela Stockman, launched a new venture called Camp Rewrite: A digital campfire where English teachers across the country can gather to view PD videos from Rebekah, Matt, Angela, and a slew of other fantastic voices in the ELA world. It's a fantastic example of how professional learning can be more authentic, non-hierarchical, and participatory. However, our conversation will go beyond this one event! More broadly, this is a dialogue asking big questions about the future of post-COVID pedagogy, professional learning, and even the discipline of English.

Join Read Into This host Beth Lyons as she explores how virtual read alouds have been used with fellow teacher-librarian Julie Vandendool and kindergarten educator Aviva Dunsiger throughout the 2020-2021 school year. Our discussion stems from a Twitter thread between the three of us looking at why read alouds seemed to have been more successful when in a virtual space than in the bricks-and-mortar space while following safety protocols. How do we balance supporting the literacy needs and sharing of stories with students and educators using virtual tools with the power we know that comes from small group discussions and the connections made when talking about the books together? Both Julie and Beth reflect on how the act of sharing stories in a large school-wide setting using virtual tools allowed for a small act of community gathering in a year when we were all so far apart. How can we engage in a story and the learning connected to themes and inquiry sparks when working with grades ranging from kindergarten to Grade 8. We know that stories act as “mirrors, windows and sliding glass doors” (Rudine Sims Bishop) but how have they also acted as “keys” (Julie Vandendool) to a shared common space?

Beth speaks with Angela Stockman who is an educator, an author and a champion for the power of storytelling in its many forms. She has spent her career being curious about what makes writers struggle and how she could help push young writers to see their capabilities. The conversation starts by discussing Angela's new book- Creating Inclusive Writing Environments in the K-12 Classroom: Reluctance, Resistance, and Strategies that Make a Difference and how Angela is connected and collaborates with so many school library professionals and other educators in Ontario. Angela explains her thoughts about the role reading has in the writing lives of students and the intertwining of play and storytelling. Angela says that ”[s]tory is not the property of English language arts and English teachers. Story is a power force inside every single industry.” We discuss the cultural reckoning that is happening across the world right now and the importance of bringing in students' lived experiences to the classroom and valuing many forms of storytelling.Books Mentioned in this EpisodeKeep Going: 10 Ways to Stay Creative in Good Times and Bad by Austin KleonDesign Is Storytelling by Ellen LuptonBird by Bird by Anne Lamotthttp://www.angelastockman.com/@AngelaStockmanLook for The Building Better Writers group on Facebook

In this episode, Melissa interviews Angela Stockman, who is a researcher and author of three books including Make Writing and Hacking the Writing Workshop. Angela shares the research method she uses and how it has changed the way she approaches writing instruction.

Our guest this week is Angela Stockman, author of Hacking the Writing Workshop, Make Writing, and the upcoming Creating Inclusive Writing Environments in the K-12 Classroom. If you can’t tell by her titles, Angela’s passion is writing—sort of. At the heart of Angela’s work with writing is a deep commitment to broaden the ways students are able to make meaning, leveraging a wider variety of tools than just the written word. The education system’s relationship and centering of print is one with a surprising history with some pretty serious consequences—ones that Angela is trying to rectify with her Make Writing approach. Over the course of today’s episode we’ll be exploring how Maker Writing and Multimodal Composition are approaches to writing that promote equity, voice, and metaphorical thinking. Angela’s ability to distill and synthesize research and turn it in to classroom practice is second to none, and her knowledge and passion are evident throughout our dialogue. We hope you enjoy!

Angela shared that her, "best learning and work happens at the intersections of making, writing, and attending to issues of equity. She spent twelve years teaching elementary, middle, and high school writers in western New York state before stepping out the classroom to become a professional learning facilitator. Most weekdays find her learning beside K-12 writers and teachers in classrooms and schools throughout the United States and into Canada. She is the author of two Hack Learning books--Make Writing: 5 Strategies that Turn Writers Workshop into a Makerspace and Hacking the Writing Workshop: Redesign with Making in Mind. Her next book, Creating Inclusive Writing Environments in the K-12 Classroom: Reluctance, Resistance, and Strategies that Make a Difference, will be released by Routledge later this year."

Writing has been proven time and again, to be a key contributor to success in terms of goal-setting, gratitude, memory development, various cognitive and emotional therapies, increasing creativity and productivity, neural plasticity & network development, self coaching, mental well-being, thought processing, fine motor development, overcoming depression, and even fighting dyslexia and psychological disorders. You name it. There is evidence proving that writing enhances success all over the place - it is not simply a means of communication or expression.Our Little Brains, need to know how to write!In this episode, I share a model of Writers' Workshop that has proven successful in 100% of the over 30 classrooms I have coached it in. Students are more engaged, confident, resilient, take more risks, start loving writing, and the quality of their writing drastically improves! PLUS, teachers gain hours back into their lives, rarely need to take writing home to mark, develop a deeper connection with their students, and are able to improve their own writing skills!

Angela Stockman has been spending time with students as she teaches them to improve and enjoy their writing. She's learned some remarkable things that she shares on this show. www.coolcatteacher.com/e454  

Social Media and Student Communication: A Compelling Perspective  A Conversation with Angela Stockman Rather than viewing social media as an inhibitor to our teaching, Angela Stockman makes a compelling case for embracing this medium as a teaching tool.   Truly an innovative thought leader, her perspective on opening new “corridors of learning” for students by utilizing technology to nurture writing is inspiring.  Although she describes herself as a “hot mess” in high school, she clearly has it together as an educator/author!  Look for her guidance in teaching “cool” and “warm” feedback in the classroom. Another overriding theme of this session is a poignant reminder to not make assumptions about our learners’ interests. Angela has graciously shared the most amazing resources on MyEdExpert.  Link to those:   https://myedexpert.com/vendor/angelastockman/ Her Twitter: @angela stockman; Angela’s website:  http://www.angelastockman.com/ Note:  This podcast is purposely situated next to that of Ryan Schaaf’s, who is a digital gaming expert.  Their philosophies about technology in the classroom are quite thought-provoking.

Angela Stockman, author of Make Writing, Hacking the Writer's Workshop, and Hacking School Culture, discusses her experience mixing writer's workshop with maker centered learning. Angela talks about her visit to Reggio Emilia and the maker approach to early childhood. Note: internet connections were a challenge, the audio clarity is limited, but the ideas discusses are incredible. Music: the mini loop remix is from Snail Mail "Pristine".

Teachers and school leaders want compassion in their classrooms and schools. Mark Barnes explains how Experiential Learning inspires compassion in students, with plenty of help from Hacking School Culture: Designing Compassionate Classrooms, by Angela Stockman and Ellen Feig Gray.Find Hacking School Culture and the entire Hack Learning Series at http://hacklearningbooks.comFor more podcast episodes, visit http://hacklearningpodcast.com

What’s Wrong (Or Right) with These Kids?  New Ways to Teach the “Always On” Generation A Conversation with Ryan Schaaf  Turns out, technology use in the “Always On” generation HAS changed our kids’ brains.  Expert Ryan Schaaf shares research on how students today read differently, multi-task more, and handle instant gratification.  This fascinating conversation provides insights into how to teach this generation – a most unique group that has always had instant access to information.  Ryan blends research and pragmatism in this balanced approach to using technology in the classroom for real world learning.  Ryan has posted open downloads for you on MyEdExpert here:  https://myedexpert.com/vendor/rschaaf/ Ryan Schaaf’s contact info:  Twitter @RyanLSchaaf;  rschaaf@ndm.edu   Note:  Ryan’s session pairs beautifully with the next podcast with Angela Stockman.  Both are experts in utilizing technology for real-world learning in balanced classroom experiences.  

Guiding students in using maker elements to build their arguments and ideas leads to greater complexity in their thinking and writing. Find out how to get started in this conversation with Angela Stockman, author of Hack the Writing Workshop.

The Power of the Opening Minutes With Suzy Pepper Rollins The opening minutes hold tremendous power for learning.  Student motivation, reading comprehension, intellectual curiosity, and the value of a task all hinge on starting with something powerful! Unfortunately, these moments may have been "hijacked" along the way and turned into a "Do Now" classroom management moment.  Do this now while I take attendance, fill out some forms, rotate my tires, etc.  No More!  That's the subject of our short podcast this week.   But wait! Here are some amazing free resources by our fabulous authors to support make these opening minutes super strong!  • Kristina Smekens:  Free bundle of bell-ringers for ELA! • Angela Stockman:  Free Firestarters for writing! • Laurel Schmidt:  It say's "Banish Writer's Block" but this is a cool technique for other subjects - Students draw their heads for a brain dump & then sequence ideas. • Suzy Pepper Rollins:  Alpha brainstorming is for all subjects! From A -Z, everything you know about fractions, taxes, Africa, prices, etc.  

Mark shares a story from author/consultant Angela Stockman about a student who asked for feedback from her teacher, only to be given judgement and criticism. You'll be surprised at what Angela instructed the student to do next.Read the story, excerpted from Stockman's Hacking the Writing Workshop at http://hacklearning.org/feedbackVisit our episode archive at http://hacklearningpodcast.com

Shame permeates our schools and classrooms. Kids shame their peers and, sometimes, unwittingly, teachers shame their students.Compassionate classrooms, detailed in Hacking Classroom Culture by Angela Stockman and Ellen Feig Gray, extinguish shame. Mark shares an excerpt from Hack 5 of this new book, helping you find out how to eliminate shame in your space and design your own compassionate classroom.Check out the resources from this episode and an excerpt from Hacking School Culture at http://hacklearning.org/shameLearn more about designing compassionate classrooms here: https://www.amazon.com/Hacking-School-Culture-Compassionate-Classrooms/dp/1948212048/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1525794044&sr=8-1
