Entry #1: Discuss with another teacher, his/her philosophies about teaching literacy.

The teacher I spoke with teaches 7th grade ELA. We co-teach an inclusion class and this is her 13th year of teaching. Rather than giving me some detailed speech, she was very straight forward about her approach to teaching literacy.
  • Follow CAP
  • Collaborative work
  • Skills practice with no penalty (non-graded notebook)
  • Focus on process-especially for writing
  • One on one conferring for struggling kids
  • Accessible high interest mentor/instructional texts at instructional level
  • Have fun!
