2. In the zone! Making lesson frames, quality questions, and critical writing prompts for every lesson! Excited! (By @TarynOurso)

3. (Frequent Small Group Purposeful Talk) Wondered how students could be engaged by a 2-hour movie and struggle with a 50-minute class? Did the research and found that the average movie scene lasts 1 to 3 minutes! (By @jaredpeters23)

4. Average secondary student writes 1.6 pages a week in English & 2.1 pages in all other classes. Not enough to learn to write well (Applebee). (By @CarolJago)

5. Some say, "What if we spend money training teachers and they leave?" I say, "What if we don't train them and they stay?" (By @twhitford)

6. I'm not overselling this: The Fundamental 5 is the unifying theory of the successful classroom. (By @LYSNation)

7. Most people are in favor of progress, it's the changes they don't like. (By @principalspage)

8. I'm a tech guy, but if you are looking for technology to SOLVE your instructional problems then you are looking to REPLACE teachers. (By @LYSNation)
