Notes de l'éditeur
8:00-8:30 collect materials from classrooms. Begin at 8:30 sharp NEED 6 copies of student texts from any subject
Why are we here? Any other concerns to discuss about students literacy needs. share PSSA reading scores--- they are all of our responsibilities, not just English teachers.
Secondary teachers have not “signed up” to teach reading, but reality has hit that literacy skills are the make or break. We are training students for jobs that have not yet been created. Not only is it important to have them learn the content, but to think critically and have the ability to read, write and respond to a variety of text.
Fighting your expertise and knowledge is difficult, I do believe that all students can learn maybe not to the extent of the top, but when given the skills they can be part of the class and the knowledge shared in that class.
Referred to as B D A’s, the cognitive learning process, activating prior knowledge (before reading strategies, graphic organizers for during strategies, note-taking etc. After strategies can include summarization, but many other creative ways for students to show and share what knowledge they gained and questions they still have.
