one thing I love about my job #teaching #ELA to #MiddleSchool students is telling them the truth about certain things they've been taught.

like, how there are fewer clear distinctions between "fiction" and "nonfiction" than they are taught, and how "metaphors" and "similes" are not exactly different things.

if I'm anything, it's precise about language :) it's sorta my #SpecialInterest you could say.

so what's about to happen is that I'm going to begin a Unit Plan this week that isn't supposed to be taught until the end of the year. but this way fits better with my approach to writing and I can use more material from last year if I just roll the same way (our curriculum dept made an arbitrary change to the pacing guide).

hopefully I won't have to ask for forgiveness until I'm too far in to turn around, because I sure as shit aint asking for permission

My #teaching "Why" has been with me since I was a teenager, even though I didnt even think of becoming a teacher until I was pretty old

#MyWhy is to make kids feel seen & like they belong. To feel like their opinions matter. My #ELA approach is to teach kids how to understand others & how to be understood in creative & effective ways

but it's always been about connection. I felt disconnected as a kid, unseen, & like I didnt matter. I want to be who I didnt have

#ActuallyAutistic #TeacherLife

Our first week of #teaching #ELA went remarkably well.

This batch of 8th graders seems to lean more toward reading/writing than math/science, which is 1. unusual & 2. wonderful!

as usual, the year is beginning with many frustrations about the way our district admin is operating. I'm focused on doing my best and not letting other things throw me off

I've streamlined planning & prep, & this week I'll start looking at potential accommodations via askjan.org

I’m thinking about building this years #ELA curriculum around the 50th anniversary of #HipHop.

I have the resources and unit plans for such a thing, which we could use as a foundation for the standards we need to develop this year. Kids would learn the history and the elements of the genre, which then directly lead into collaborative, creative, student-centered work.

#TeacherLife

Last school year, I found a way to streamline a lot of our work in my #ELA classroom. Unlike many years, I worked in a way that I can carry forward to the next year. It emphasizes student voice & choice. It hits big picture goals while personalizing each kid’s growth. It has minimum setup & grading, & it’s flexible enough to adapt to wide variety of content & classroom styles/vibes (which often change).

This year, I think I might simplify even more.

#TeacherLife #ActuallyAutistic #Boundaries

One thing I’ll be doing this school year is documenting random moments to send to my mom, who is living with #PSP. She can’t communicate well verbally anymore but she appreciates keeping in touch 🤗❤️

I think I’ll also share some of this work with my students, as a way to model kindness and varied communication methods.

From Nov. '22; still relevant. Interesting questions/thoughts — "Twitter, #Mastodon and the #Fediverse: I Have Questions" https://sogrady.org/2022/11/13/twitter-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-i-have-questions/

I saw it posted by @rabbinathan whose post discusses funding/economic issues (https://babka.social/@rabbinathan/110543026636375994). Blog author @sogrady discusses more. [NB: Search challenges on Mastodon often bug me, but it was pretty easy to find O'Grady in the fediverse. He's got a fun blog, too, & mentions the #ALS Association — #MND #ELA #SLA — so 👍 https://www.als.org/]

During my brief foray into the world of #ELA #education, I found it helpful to give my students a breakdown of some of the most common #metaphors and #similes which easily grow into #symbols and hint at #theme.

So, a few years later, I decided to write about it - because why not?
