May your grading piles be
lighter, your students' writing skills stronger, and your classroom culture unshakeable.
My friend...
it's time to stop sacrificing your learners' social-emotional needs on the alter of cognitive skills.
Because guess what?
If your students are actually going to learn from you, you gotta 'Maslow' before you 'Bloom'!
In other words, you need to forge solid, social relationships with your learners before they'll *ever* trust you to guide them academically.
STUDENTS WILL...
Craft compelling visual stories backed by persuasive facts or ideas, while also learning about today’s modern mediums for communication (in this case, social media!).
A comprehensive lesson plan in a league. of. its own...
- It invites the use of social media but for academic purposes...and without the distraction.
- It's intentionally designed to mimic the same set of decision-making skills students use when writing essays.
- It builds a genuine foundation for formal writing by meeting students 'where they are' FIRST.
What Teachers are Saying...
"Jill Pavich gives you the permission and freedom to explore what you instinctively know to be true, as a teacher, while also showing you how to align that ingenuity and creativity with the demands of the systems we teachers must work within. She's what we've all been waiting for."

secondary ELA teacher
Now I get it if you're hesitant...leaning on social media for learning?! Sounds suspect, right?
But here's the thing...
Just because WE didn't grow up knowing how to leverage online platforms for academic and professional reasons (I had to teach myself that!) doesn't mean our students don't deserve this know-how.
For our learners, having a digital footprint is no longer an *option*.
Question is: what role will YOU play in helping them shape it?
Communicating online involves reading, writing, using your own voice, and listening to those of others. As secondary ELA teachers, this is *definitely* our department!
