Podcasts about units of study

Shannon and Mary ask Linda Rhyne to join them for a live Reading Teachers discussion about how to find balance in our reading instruction.   Teachers are asked to follow various curriculum programs, teach the grade level standards, differentiate for their students' needs, and utilize their own expertise & experience.  How can teachers blend all this together into cohesive literacy instruction that makes sense to students and themselves and balance what they're asked to do with what they know their students need to be successful in reading?    All these points are brought up in the chat, and Linda shares some tips for how teachers can be critical consumers and advocates for their students in their individual school buildings.   We hope this chat inspires you to think critically about your own teaching practice and instructional decisions.  Episode Links for Resources mentioned:It's Our Science blog postProviding Reading Interventions for Students in Grades 4-9Curriculum is MisunderstoodAcadience LearningDIBELS Data SystemUpper Grade Fluency ActivitiesSold A Story by Emily HanfordLiteracy View response to Sold a storyOpinion response to Sold a StoryNEPC:   Ed in the Apple:  The Reading Wars: Balanced Literacy versus Phonics, Revisited  by Peter GoodmanA balanced view of reading The Science of Reading Movement: The Never-Ending Debate and the Need for a Different Approach to Reading InstructionBoth AndReading shifts https://twitter.com/lindaschultziehttps://www.instagram.com/lindarhyneconsulting/https://www.lindarhyneconsulting.com/https://www.facebook.com/lindarhyneconsultinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/linda-schultz-rhyne-91704b93/COME JOIN THE CONVERSATION!Our WebsiteFacebookInstagramShannon's TpT StoreSupport the show

This week on the Heinemann podcast, a conversation with author Lucy Calkins on leadership. In Leading Well: Building Schoolwide Excellence in Reading and Writing, Lucy Calkins draws on the transformative work that she and her colleagues at the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project have done in partnership with school leaders over the last thirty years.While a school leader should be inspirational, Lucy says leaders need to be much more than that. Lucy says, making monumental change in literacy education is no small thing and the most powerful leaders lead through influence—not compliance—rallying people to believe in the cause. She also tells us that a good leader reminds us there is dignity in learning and that leaders need to make themselves vulnerable as public learners to foster the kind of environment that will help their teams try new things and continually outgrow themselves.Our conversation started out by asking Lucy what led her to writing a leadership book...
