How to Make Project-Based Learning Inclusive in a Hybrid Setting for Elementary Student... - 1 views

  •  
    "Moving to hybrid classrooms creates an even greater challenge for building community. In hybrid classrooms, some students never see each other in person, and some students never see their teachers in person. Project-based learning provides a powerful vehicle for creating a shared learning space, one that makes it clear that all students' voices are needed and welcome in the classroom."

Using Read-Alouds to Improve Older Elementary Students' Literacy Skills | Edutopia - 1 views

  •  
    "Reading aloud daily demonstrates a commitment to literacy in an authentic and nonthreatening way. When students see teachers sharing literacy in this way, it allows them to simply enjoy a good book. Too often, children view reading as an arduous task because teachers have coupled reading with comprehension questions at the end of each chapter."

Picture Books and Primary Sources: Wood, Wire, Wings: Emma Lilian Todd Invents an Airpl... - 0 views

  •  
    "Often I suggest we bring historically based picture books into student learning to explore history. So many titles are rich entry points for moments and individuals from the past. Another approach though is to use these narratives to explore the author as a researcher. How do authors gather background about individuals and events? How does that process help define the story?"
