Student Reading

Lou Sheehan on 08 Jul 11

When Alice Ozma was in the fourth grade, her family was going through a rough patch. Her parents had just split up, and her older sister had recently left for college. Ozma was suddenly spending a lot more time alone with her dad, Jim Brozina, an elementary school librarian. So Ozma and her father made a pledge: to read together every single night for 100 days.

  I don't work in K-12 schools, but from what I've heard and read, it sounds accurate. This is something that college programs should be addressing to prepare future teachers as well as offering continuing ed courses for current teachers. Districts should be able to allocate resources to support this effort.

"The challenge is due to the fact that despite the widespread agreement on its importance, training in digital literacy skills and techniques is rare in teacher education and school district professional development programs," the report said.

  And, I would add, that the training is designed to teach the skills and not the pedagogy for using those skills in class. Teachers still see this as an aside to their job of teaching the content for the purpose of scoring high on the tests.
