In this episode:             I talk about the what, why and how of leveraging the behind the scenes of being an upper elementary reading teacher to help you end the year strong-ish. We talk about: 1.What is the behind the scenes of teaching. 2. Why setting intention around the behind the scenes of teaching matters when planning to end the year strong-ish. 3.How to leverage the behind the scenes of teaching to help you end the year strong-ish. Quotables: -When I refer to the term back end I'm referring to those things that happen behind the scenes. Those things that if they don't happen then you don't actually ever get to the teaching portion of the day.   -Taking time to consider the behind the scenes of our jobs and create a plan for it helps give us some of that power back.When we feel empowered we operate from an entirely different frequency which positively impacts everyone around us.  - I like to think of self care as an act of resistance, because education is a system that will try to take all of everything you give it.   Links to resources mentioned in the podcast: Sign up for the Finish Strong-ish Workshop Here!

If we try to make schools in the US more like schools in other countries, will that result in more effective practices? Why do policies work in some districts, but not others? Many ideas sound good on paper; but the people working with students or leading schools are telling a different story. That's why I invited reading specialist Jalita Johnson to episode 151 to share her expertise on these topics.Jalita Johnson is a reading specialist in the Northern Virginia area and is also a veteran, wife and mom of 4. She completed her undergrad studies at Fayetteville State University, an HBCU near Ft. Liberty (formerly Ft. Bragg) North Carolina. She holds a Master's Degree in Elementary Reading.​​She is currently enrolled in a Doctoral bridge program at George Mason for Educational Leadership. Over the years, she has come to realize that she committed to being a lead learner.In this conversation, she shares:✅Being an agent for change: Why her military background gave her the skills and experience to lead reform initiatives in education ✅Syntactic complexity, and the disconnect between decoding/encoding and language comprehension✅Professional development and learning communities: Does one size fit all?✅What challenges come up when federal, state or district-level reform initiatives are modeled off of policies from other countries or states? The following resources were mentioned in this episode:“Hacking School Leadership: What makes Teachers Happy and Why it Matters to Students” by Erika Garcia-Niles (Link here: https://www.amazon.com/Hacking-School-Leadership-principals-happiness/dp/1956512446/ref=sr_1_1?crid=OW0WCCPY7Q3F&keywords=hacking+school+leadership&qid=1699901781&s=books&sprefix=hacking+school+leadership%2Cstripbooks%2C87&sr=1-1)Stacy Roberts, M.Ed, CCC-SLP, from Explore to Express (Link here: https://www.exploretoexpress.com/)In this episode, I mention Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that helps SLPs create a system for language therapy.

Is teaching reading in small groups stressful? Do you ever wonder if your students are even getting enough value from their group time to make it worth your effort?  As a young teacher I know I struggled with what to teach during small groups, how to group my students, and don't even get me started on the classroom management struggles I had during small group reading time! Well, it doesn't have to be that way. And yes, small group reading instruction really is valuable if we structure it right.

Listen in as: I share tips about ways to reset your reading block any time of the year, because let's face it, any time of year is a good time to reset your reading block. I talk about: -Celebrating your wins -Resetting your goals if something is not working -Staying the course if things are going well -Helping your classroom community hit the reset button -Helping each student reset their reading goals Quotables: - Mid-year is a great time to take stock of how things are going in your reading classroom and hit refresh on those goals, but let's be honest any time of year is a good time to hit the refresh button. - Think about how you showed up well in your reading block this last semester, last month, or even last week depending on when you choose to embark on this practice. Take a moment to list off what went right. Read these accomplishments out loud and pat yourself on the back, you deserve it. - Sometimes the most sanity saving, lifegiving practice growing thing we can do for ourselves and our students is to stay the course.

EPISODE 37 It's back to school time! This time of year always makes me so excited. As fun as it is, I totally know how many tasks are on your to-do list as you plan and prepare for your new group of students. Over the years, one thing I have found to be super helpful is having a solid list of go-to resources that can used over and over again in your reading block.   Today I'm telling you all about my top five favorite resources that should be in every upper elementary reading classroom. These resources will play a crucial role in helping you to create a highly effective AND engaging reading block. What makes them so great? They work in ALL parts of your reading block - during independent practice, small group, assessments, and even homework!   The best part is that by getting your students familiar with the same type of resource, it will become easier for them to truly use them as a valuable tool to practice important skills. This is the solution you need to eliminate the number of resources that you have to go searching for online time and time again.   In this episode I share: -5 must-have resources for every upper elementary reading teacher -4 things to consider when selecting effective resources -Why you need to look for reading response resources that are open ended -How giving your students multiple opportunities to practice skills will help to grow your confidence as a teacher   Resources Mentioned: -Premade Anchor Charts -Strategy Cards -Digital Graphic Organizers -Graphic Organizer Sticky Notes -Graphic Organizers for Genre -Question Stems -Task Cards - Growing Bundle -Come join us in my NEW Facebook group, Upper Elementary Reading Teachers -SHOW NOTES: stellarteacher.com/podcast/episode37.    Connect with me: -Join my newsletter -My TPT store -stellarteachercompany.com -Instagram: @thestellarteachercompany -Facebook: The Stellar Teacher Company

Have you ever read a paper, found a tool, or heard an idea that made you stop and think, "If we could do this, we'd see truly major changes"? That's how I felt after speaking with education journalist and author Natalie Wexler about her recent book, The Knowledge Gap: The Hidden Cause of America's Broken Education System - and How to Fix It. Despite the heavy emphasis on reading instruction through testing, "accountability" measures, and funding over the last two decades, reading scores have been flat. Students performing at "proficient" levels make up less than one third of the student population. Why is this? The answer appears to lie not in environmental factors or lack of resources, but in our approach to reading instruction. In this episode, Natalie shares why skills-based reading comprehension misses the mark, and new approach that can close the gap.

The process for identifying a specific learning disability such as dyslexia is complicated in the public school setting. In this episode Mary explains the RTI (Response to Intervention) process. She also breaks down how a student is eligible for special education in the public school.

Strong Tier 1 and 2 instruction is necessary to determine whether the student has a learning deficit or a learning disability.Resource Links:What to Expect at an IEP Eligibility MeetingResponse to InterventionIntervention Central13 Conditions Covered Under IDEAHow Does the Reading Brain Work?
