Shot in the dark but is anyone else here a teacher? I am working on revising the literacy curriculum at my school and feel as though I’m doing it in complete isolation. I’d love to chat with another professional about it. #forkiverse #teachers #curriculum (im trying with this tagging stuff but I have legit never done it before)

@RoRo Lots of teachers here. How old are your students?

@RoRo
You did the hashtags perfectly! Using them at the end of a post like that is better for those who rely on screen readers. Well done! May you reach many educators! -

@RoRo I teach, develop curriculum, NA teaching quals but don't teach in NA. I totally get the revision-in-isolation feeling. Not sure if I can help any, but am happy to be a sounding board! What grades & kinds of literacy are you working on? What problems are you aiming to solve?

I teach public health to mostly college freshmen and they have 10 writing assignments so I guess I teach some aspect of scientific writing.
Mostly though I try to get the kids to write and not paste the writing prompt into chatgpt! -

@aarbrk my main focus is on the primary (elementary) and near primary ages kids, k-5 (ages 5-11), although everything I do has to work within the continuum of the school (ages 3-18, we are an IB school).

@RoRo I am a high school teacher. How can I help?

@RoRo Cool, not my context but I'm curious. Spill some specifics, maybe people will have ideas.

@Bumblefish I also don’t teach where my qualifications are from. I work at an international school in Japan, at an IB school, but got my certification in the states (MA). My focus right now is on the primary (elementary) school, US grades k-5 (UK/Aus/etc entry (reception, foundation, etc - 6). When I arrived at the school last year they were using the Readers and Writers program, which means they are not using best practices. Helping them phase out RW and learn best practices!

@RoRo I have been a high school English teacher for 30 years and am happy to talk! I’ve done a lot of this kind of work. What’s your goal? Where / how are you starting?

I personally like the 'gamify' approach:
Gamify Literacy: Boost Comprehension, Collaboration and Learning by Michele Haiken, 2017
Literacy is at the heart of education — and what better way to teach this important subject than through the motivational techniques built into gamification? With Gamify Literacy, teacher Michele Haiken brings together top educators and gaming professionals to share gamification strategies...

@RoRo As others have mentioned, there are plenty of teachers here — and no reason to limit yourself to those on theforkiverse.
Here's an English teacher I follow:
@rufustheduckAnd @hlseward seems like she might be a good contact for you.

@RoRo I teach media design at a college level (17+) but have a lot of experience with curriculum design... though it looks like you are nicely covered from looking at the other responses!

@RoRo college, but phd is in ed tech and learning design . . . does that count? I also use the hashtag #education to cover all the bases.

@RoRo Oh great! I've been in Japan since forever, used to teach JHS and HS English, now at uni. at mark jezebelkat@famichiki.jp also has a lot if experience in this area. (Removed the first at so I'm not tagging them into the conversation without any warning). "Best practices" is a highly variable term, but sounds like the curriculum needs a re-work. Any specific issues?
