Although I have lots of experience under my belt—I still don’t always “nail” this teaching thing. I love sharing ideas, but I also love getting ideas and making changes to my craft based on the research and experience of others #theedcollab20 Nov 2024 01:20 +0000at://did:plc:73pm72pyce5leyhdo5xttsdz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbdruicmos2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/r-erin-comninaki.bsky.social/post/3lbdrq6axhc2yA1) My preferred name is Erin and this is my first year as the general education teacher in a middle school ELA classroom. This is my 21st (22nd?) year in education where I spent 15 years as a special education teacher and 5 as an instructional technology coach.

I’m still working on my progression charts for each standard and am open to advice. I show this to students and conference time is used to observe, note and reflect. #ungradingchat18 Nov 2024 20:58 +0000at://did:plc:73pm72pyce5leyhdo5xttsdz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbasr7qdvs27https://bsky.app/profile/r-erin-comninaki.bsky.social/post/3lbarczxawk27Newbie question here, but how are you all saving posts while on your phone?
