    Udacity is still focused on lifelong vocational education, but to receive a certificate the student now requires interaction with coaches, projects and testing.

The Future of Reading - 'Reading Workshop' Approach Lets Students Pick the Books - Seri... - 7 views

  • The approach Ms. McNeill uses, in which students choose their own books, discuss them individually with their teacher and one another, and keep detailed journals about their reading, is part of a movement to revolutionize the way literature is taught in America’s schools. While there is no clear consensus among English teachers, variations on the approach, known as reading workshop, are catching on.
  • In the method familiar to generations of students, an entire class reads a novel — often a classic — together to draw out the themes and study literary craft. That tradition, proponents say, builds a shared literary culture among students, exposes all readers to works of quality and complexity and is the best way to prepare students for standardized tests.
  • “I just never felt that they were as excited about reading as I wanted them to be.”

  • noting page numbers to make sure each student had read at least 20 pages the night before.
  • Ms. Moje added that choices should be limited and that teachers should guide students toward high-quality literature.

      This proves that choice is part of the workshop, but not the end all be all.

      Seems so manageable, but who is this anecdotal data useful for other than the teacher and student?
  • In January two of her students failed a state writing assessment.

      This is my fear, and truth be told, some of the students who I felt grew as a result of our RW lessons didn't do well on MCAS.

      I have fully bought into the workshop model, but it's hard to transform thinking if everyone isn't onboard.

      I love the idea that this article is highlighting the importance and significance of readers workshop. It is important for teachers to realize that it is a new way to teach literature in schools. It is authentic!

      It is so important to realize that children are now interacting and engaged about the books they read! This is a great article to show as evidence for readers workshop.

  • But fans of the reading workshop say that assigning books leaves many children bored or
  • they’re actually interacting

    It's nice to see that we are not the only ones battling with these issues.

      Renee, This site seems to have lots of resources. I am looking for sites that my students can use independently. Since it goes from k-5, I can also find just the right level for everyone.

      I come back to this tool over and over. Today I used it when teaching division by a divisor with decimal places. We don't "move the decimal" to make the divisor a whole number. We multiply by a power of 10 to change place value enough to make a whole number.
