2021 Veterans Day Teachers Guide (va.gov)

 

 Now is the time to get started

I tried this many years ago and it works. 

First figure out what you REALLY want to do, write a business plan (this is a MUST), and then take the leap! 

Don't expect overnight success, it takes LOTS of hard, late-night work. 

 

 These strategies are really good for a person who has recently lost a loved one. Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. They are going to be hard for some of us to deal with. So try some of these de-stressors.

Close Reading Plan 

1. What will you read? Choose a text that is

• short (you can use part of a text)
• challenging for your students

2. How will it be read? Choose students read, choral reading, or teacher reads. Consider:-the decoding ability of your students-your students’ familiarity with the vocabulary

3. Choose a skill for the first read that can be practiced with the text you chose.

4. Set a purpose. Decide what you’ll say to your students before reading to aim them toward the skill being practiced. You might ask them to make annotations in the text as they read or listen.

5. Text dependent question: Notice that horizontally across from each skill is a text dependent question to match. You may want to write in notes the question or the answer you’re looking for.

6. Repeat steps 2-5 for the “2nd read” and “3rd read” sections

Note: The box to the far right of the page reminds you that all answers students give should be connected to text evidence.

 

Community-responsive teaching gives us a way to show students that their education is vital, meaningful, and powerful.
