Sometimes I find Lucy Calkins to be very wordy! Her lessons are meaty and a lot to read through. However, I welcome the structure and the specific trade books she references in each lesson. As a grade level, we were lucky enough to have our PTA purchase the trade books for us. It's nice to have these books readily available, rather than having to track down good mentor texts on my own. ]]> 2019-01-20 22:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jsadoway0400/4u170saimtu2/wish/322534607 jsadoway0400 https://padlet.com/jsadoway0400/4u170saimtu2/wish/322536846 This is a link to Lucy Calkins' author bio from Heinemann. ]]> 2019-01-20 23:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jsadoway0400/4u170saimtu2/wish/322536846 jsadoway0400 https://padlet.com/jsadoway0400/4u170saimtu2/wish/322537069 This is the adaptive assessment that my district uses to assess reading. My students complete this assessment on a computer, over the course of several sessions. In my district, students take this assessment three times (fall, winter and spring). We are currently administering the winter diagnostic test. This assessment doesn't always align with DRA data or my observations in the classroom. ]]> 2019-01-20 23:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jsadoway0400/4u170saimtu2/wish/322537069 jsadoway0400 https://padlet.com/jsadoway0400/4u170saimtu2/wish/322539218 How to really make a difference when working with struggling readers. ]]> 2019-01-20 23:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jsadoway0400/4u170saimtu2/wish/322539218 jsadoway0400 https://padlet.com/jsadoway0400/4u170saimtu2/wish/322539475 The connection between low income families and reading proficiency. ]]> 2019-01-20 23:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jsadoway0400/4u170saimtu2/wish/322539475 jsadoway0400 https://padlet.com/jsadoway0400/4u170saimtu2/wish/322698894 As I begin my action research within my first grade classroom, I must consider many ethical guidelines. Protecting my first graders confidentiality could be problematic while I conduct my action research. As the classroom teacher, I clearly know the identity of my students, but must promise not to share their identity with anyone else throughout my action research journey. I must also consider the importance of acquiring accurate data without personal bias. Geoffrey E. Mills (2014) says, “Any attempt to manipulate the data to support a personal position is unethical” (p. 48). I am personally enjoying the new Lucy Calkins Units of Study for Teaching Reading that my district has adopted this school year. However, I am not sure if it is the best program for struggling first grade readers, only time will tell.  Considering confidentiality and ensuring accuracy are commonsense ethical guidelines that I will not ignore while I conduct my action research, regardless of the outcome.
