    This is a post by Grant Wiggins in which he provides a synopsis of 15 year's worth of reading strategies research-what works and what doesn't work-and then his key take-aways are. This is a very interesting and 'meaty' read. This article as well as the preceding and final post could serve as the foundation for a PLC text-based seminar discussion on reading strategies with the goal to improve our students transfer of these skills to novel texts.

  • When you do a random Google search for information on something (i.e. Martin Luther King Jr.) you don't really now the quality of the site before digging beneath the surface of the link.
  • The top sites about Martin Luther King Jr. here are from the Nobel Prize, Stanford University and the King Center which was founded by Coretta Scott King.

    In this blog post, Carrie Toth describes how she uses a 'musical chairs' strategy to help students collaboratively write a story. This requires them to first read and then build upon previous contributions. Carrie Toth describes how she uses this with her language learning students but it can be used in any content area to help develop student writing and reading skills. An additional benefit is that students get to move around and research shows the importance of physical activity and learning.

    These three videos from Expeditionary Learning show how we can model for students how they can critique their own and each other's work and provide descriptive feedback. Teachers can apply these strategies with their own students. Teachers can also work together with their PLC to implement these strategies with their students.

    In this blog post, contributors Libby Woodfin, Tony Frontier, Laura Cabrera and Alice Mercer provide examples of the power of formative assessment to improve student learning. I was especially intrigued with first grader Austin and how his classmates used concrete, descriptive feedback to help him improve his scientific drawing of a butterfly. Check out the link! This would be a great article to assign for a PLC text-based discussion using any of the protocols described by Venables on pp. 85-87 in his book, Turning Data into Action.
