Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy : September 2009

  • Despite this, some schools have reduced time spent on such instruction to provide remediation for students with limited literacy achievement (Center on Education Policy, 2007; Moje, 2008).

  • Even when adolescents' literacy needs are recognized and funding is provided to support students who are two years or more behind grade level, U.S. educators and policymakers seem wedded to a “fix-it” remedial mentality. If researched literacy interventions do not bring students to grade level within a year, educators and policymakers deem efforts an inadequate return on investment (Viadero, 2009).

  • “For who has known the mind of the Lord,

    or who has been his counselor?”

    35 “Or who has given a gift to him

    that he might be repaid?”
  • For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, [10] and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, [11] with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

  • So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved

CI8132_1F9: Too Many Standards

  • eframing the question means not starting with the teacher but the student.  We should ask ourselves what kind of student and what kind of learning we value?  Then we must follow that up by determining what qualities, knowledge and understandings a teacher must have to produce that kind of student and learning. 

CI8132_1F9: Reflection 3

  • As an educator who has both worked with teachers before they get evaluated by the system (designed around Danielson's framework) and as a teacher observed and evaluated by this system, I struggle with how little teachers gain from it professionally and how little it works to lead to improved teaching.
  •  I question this because “bad” teaching is seemingly easy to define. 

CI8132_1F9: Teachers who are ready on day one?

  • There are however questions that arise, with such a statement: What is the minimum knowledge that teachers need in order to teach?

CI8132_1F9: What do teachers need to know?

  • Like Gemma, I take issue with the notion that we can be truly objective in our evaluation of what constitutes excellence in teaching. 
  • In fact, I believe part of the reason why there's such a trend toward charter schools is because of our flawed public system for the removal of teachers.
