Chapter 11

So, I was re-reading chapter 11, and it reminded me how important a teacher's relationship to the students is. No, we cannot readably expect every student to have an interested relationship with our subject-matter, but we can expect every teacher to make every student feel safe and respected. School can feel very high stakes and hurtful to students who struggle. Teachers are forced into focusing on test scores, standards delivery, and getting through huge amounts of material. Sometimes this can lead us to rush and we don't take the time to do proper inventory of students' needs and feelings. Also, students who struggle may be very adept at hiding their struggle because it can be embarrassing. I like how the chapter reminds us the value of showing how to self-monitor, giving extensive support to every students, and providing various formats. Just because successful readers may not need these supports, it doesn't hurt, and it may lead to deeper or wider thought, so building in strategies for struggling readers can enrich every student's learning.

The major organization for English teachers in the USA is the National Council of Teachers of English. Every year they hold a national conference in a different city. This year it will be held in Balitmore. In addition to the annual meeting, they also publish a number of peer reviewed journals, and a multitude of other resources for teachers of English. Part of what they put out are official policy statements that can be helpful for teachers to understand and define their own positions on contemporary topics in the field of English education. One part of NCTE that might be useful to teachers of other subject areas is the National Center for Literacy Education. They explain that "For six years, NCLE provided support to and compiled evidence about how educators working in cross-disciplinary teams were designing and implementing plans to support literacy learners in every classroom."

Welcome to my blog!

Here's your assignment:

Step 1: Create your blog.

• Go to blogger.com
• Click "sign in." Use a Google account. You'll need to create one if you don't already have one. 
• Click "New Blog"
• Give your blog a title!
• Create your URL (Mine is ugaNick.blogspot.com) 
• Select a template (You can change this later if you want. There are more themes available once you create your blog.)
• Click "no thanks" for the Google Domains thing.

Step 2: Post the URL for your blog in a comment on this blog entry.

• Please include your first name in the comment if it's not clear who you are from your account name.

Step 3: Post your for first blog!

• From your dashboard, click "New Post."
• Look at the two tabs labelled "Compose" and "HTML" at the top left of the document window. Be sure to paste your draft using the "Compose" mode, not the "HTML" mode.
• Take a board books and record a video of yourself reading it. Do a good job, so I can show them to my daughter! Post the video to Youtube and embed it in your post. Add 50-100 words to compliment your video. Consider using "text wrapping" rather than simply post the pic at the top or bottom of the blog.
• Be sure to post the word count at the bottom.

Step 4: Personalize your blog.

• From your dashboard, click "layout."
• Find the "About Me" widget. Add a pic of yourself, or if you don't want to add a pic of yourself, add a pic of something else! 
• Add some basic information about you--your specializations, for example--but not too much. Avoid including your last name, for example. 
• Make sure you save your changes. 
• Feel free to add any other widgets that make you happy. (e.g., Twitter)
• Now, go back to your dashboard and click on "Template." Make changes to it if you'd like. 

Step 5: Comment

• Consult the syllabus for guidelines on commenting on a peer's blog. 
• Click on one of your classmate's names to visit their blog. Read it and leave a comment! You must comment on someone's blog who has no comments.
• When you comment, choose a different person in the class each time.
