My teaching partner, who is an English teacher is under fire because she is teaching what the kids want and giving them variety and not adhering to the standard curriculum. I have been struggling with how to support her and I am going to show her Penny Kittle's video and send a link to the women who are making her teaching life miserable right now. Incidentally, I am a high school social studies teacher and have an overflowing bookshelf of books for kids to read and they do. They come and borrow them and some I never get back. I also read aloud to my 9th grade classes and many kids stated that it was the only book they "read" all year. So sad.

I was feeling discouraged by a particularly resistant non-reader and you gave me the courage to keep trying. ;)Penny Kittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04655909998933785937noreply@blogger.com
