Walk into a K–5 Collaborative Literacy classroom and you’ll hear the hum of lively, active, intentional conversation. In our program, students are discussing texts, explaining their thinking, citing evidence, listening to different perspectives, and building on one another’s ideas. Through discussion, students build knowledge, deepen comprehension, and develop the language they need to read, write, speak, and think independently. #LiteracyInstruction #StudentDiscourse #ClassroomConversation

Stetson Elementary in Colorado’s District 49 faced a challenge familiar to many schools: Incredibly dedicated teachers cannot support all students without a systematic, consistent intervention model.  Knowing that SIPPS was a successful program that was already used within the building and confident that they would see change in the school, Stetson chose to train all of their teachers in SIPPS, knowing that some of the SIPPS routines could also be used with their core program. They discovered through this implementation that SIPPS provides a vertical alignment and common vocabulary that helps with a variety of teaching skills.  https://lnkd.in/eBTf-xYx

Many children enter kindergarten having been drilled on letters and numbers, yet struggle with the social, emotional, and cognitive demands of the classroom. Are we rushing early skill mastery at the expense of true kindergarten readiness? What are the strongest predictors of long-term school and life success? 🧠 We are glad to spotlight this crucial conversation on early childhood pedagogy and how we can provide enrichment to deepen learning within developmentally appropriate boundaries. Join Dr. Nereyda M. Hurtado, Emily Vener, and Dr. Lenora Forsythe as they explore why horizontal enrichment and high-quality interactions produces stronger, more sustainable outcomes than traditional academic pushdown in early learning settings. If you're an administrator, coach, or educator looking to protect developmentally appropriate practices while driving strong student outcomes, this edWebinar is for you. ➡️ Register for free & earn a CE certificate: https://lnkd.in/gU_D-AvP #EarlyChildhood #EdWebinar #TeacherCommunity #EarlyLearning #KindergartenReadiness #QualityInteractions #ECE #PlayBasedLearning
