We teach literary elements and text structures separately, spending anywhere from a day to a week on, say, character, setting and problem and solution before moving on to the next. And, we create lesson plans addressing individual standards despite the fact that many are involved if we're reading for meaning."

It has to do with empathy. It has to do with being comfortable with the notion that the world is complicated and full of grays, but there's still truth there to be found, and that you have to strive for that and work for that. And the notion that it's possible to connect with someone else even though they're very different from you."]]> 2017-07-04 00:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/farmingdaleschooldistrict/njp5de2ddqzt/wish/177985426 ksokolowski1 https://padlet.com/farmingdaleschooldistrict/njp5de2ddqzt/wish/177985607 "But the fact is we cannot help students become problem solvers if we're not problem solvers ourselves."

This means letting students see us as excited, passionate, curious, and sometimes confused learners who wonder, ponder, and ask questions we don't always know the answers to."
