Just a little get together with LYS, TASSP and 500 of our closest friends from across the country. Talking school, instruction and Astros baseball. Here are a couple of tweets from the sessions

3. We had an amazing day one training at the Fundamental 5 conference. (By @Eduleader4kids)

4. “Copying notes off the board, does NOT require thinking. Students need to be thinking and drafting notes from reading and making connections. (By @RANESIAEDWARDS)

5. Completing and analyzing data from Checkpoints, is NOT about the students. The data is for adults. Checkpoint data tells teachers where they should monitor and adjust. (By @RANESIAEDWARDS)

9. When students walk into the room, there should be work to immediately do (the warm-up). It is essential to allow students to work with partners to cement the previous day’s learning during the warm-up. (By @RANESIAEDWARDS)
