These posters developed by the Sooke School District would be a great springboard to make your own posters!  This language is kid friendly, and imagine adding photos of your own students showing their knowledge of the core competencies!  Even better, have the kids take the photos!

Attached are primary samples and intermediate samples.  I hope they inspire you!  Thank you Sooke!  You always have the best things to share!

This video, by Kelly Vogstad from the Surrey School District, is FANTASTIC!  She shares a story of students’ writing development over time.  She talks about the importance of modelling and scaffolding, and how students compare their work over time.  This is one of my favourites for sure!  Check it out!

In preparing for a workshop, I was reminded of this wonderful document, by one of my favourites, Richard Allington – 6 things our learners need every single day!  Click below for more details:
