Perfect for a Professional Study Group
|
The literacy team at my high school chose this book to read together, and it's been insightful, informative reading. After reading countless how-to books on literacy, it's been refreshing to read a relaxed collection of the nation's best literacy teachers' experiences with students and literacy.
Our group has changed how we organize our study because of this book, too. Each week, we read a new chapter--the book is designed to be read at any point, and the team decides which chapter they want to read next-- and we apply a learning / discussion / writing strategy that we haven't used yet to the chapter. Last week it was table top discussion for "Flying Blind." This week it will be save the last word for me for "The Essence of Understanding," and the week after that, it we'll have a Socratic circle with Burke's "Teaching English Language Arts in a Flat World."
Reading a diverse collection of practicing literacy leaders has enlivened our thinking, our work, and our study. Teachers look forward to our study team, which is amazing because it's at the end of the day, toward the end of the week. They know, however, that the book's content will invite timely discussion, writing, listening, and thinking, and using the book to show teachers literacy strategies has made my work more effective, more interesting. |
