Hi all! I currently work remotely for an agency based in St Louis. I’ve enjoyed working with their clients, specifically their tourism and other smaller, in-state clients. However, they limit me on the amount of work I am given with these clients since I do not live in that area/state. Does anyone know if there are agencies in Houston that focus on Houston/Texas tourism and/or other smaller clients? Not really searching for a job yet. More so causally browsing at options in TX that interest me.

Suggestions on tools to use to pre-assess grammar reading and writing skills-6th graders

The skills & academic stamina of students in adv. classes are the lowest my colleagues and I have ever seen across ALL subjects. Students also seem not to care about the quality of their work, goal setting, & improvement like they did pre-C-19. Being back in person for a year has not erased the learning losses; in fact, this group is worse off than last year’s classes. Do you see this trend in your advanced programs? I wonder if it’s a district curriculum & philosophy issue or more widespread.

What is your favorite online site for grammar instruction ?

I need some strategies! When I introduce a text I use choral reading and whisper reading to guarantee students actually read the text. After an initial read, we go back and annotate to understand the text better. However, I feel like I do all the work. The class doesn’t seem to be thinking about the text. There is a lot of yawning. It’s like they are just waiting to write down what I tell them to. How do I get kids to think about what they are reading? How do I get them to do the work?

Can a principal ask a teacher to use some of their planning time to write late students tardy slips when they get to school every single day? Keep in mind this is the only planning period the teacher gets and it’s only 50 minutes long.

So what is everyone using to teach GUM skills (grammar, usage, mechanics)? Would anyone be interested in something like a no nonsense, logical progression, keep it simple program that addresses standards, ACT skills, and common writing issues? We’re presently piecing things together from several sources. I’ve had requests from former students and colleagues to put something together. I haven’t seen anything that has everything we need in one place.
