I also think it is SO important that we are kind and show compassion towards our students if we want them to learn anything from us. ]]> 2022-09-28 22:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318333107 Courtney Vetters https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318333836 Would it be okay for a teacher to walk away from a student who is struggling to read? ]]> 2022-09-28 22:40:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318333836 Justine Shelton https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318333923 I didn't have a question, but I'm glad they emphasized teachers believing that every student can learn and contribute to learning. I have teachers in my extended family or even my friend group who have referred to students as being "unteachable" before, and my heart always broke for that student. If the teacher won't believe in them, how can they grow as a student?]]> 2022-09-28 22:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318333923 Amy Koperski https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318334519 I was "Brenda" growing up. I disliked school so much and would do anything to not go. Also, I thought this article had many great ideas for all learners. ]]> 2022-09-28 22:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318334519 Micah Sanchez msanchez606 https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318334939 How can we get parents involved with helping our students come in believing they can create their own narrative? ]]> 2022-09-28 22:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318334939 Trevor Collie https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318335566 A connection to the article that I had was in relation to the importance of building relationships with the students that you serve as an educator, there is a famous quote from educator Rita Pierson where she says "Every child deserves a champion: an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best they can possibly be". This is something that I firmly believe every educator should embody in their classrooms, relationships have to happen before you can teach kids. ]]> 2022-09-28 22:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318335566 Yesenia Gutiérrez https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318335902  How much is too much individualized instruction for struggling readers?

Like her, I did not feel very motivated in my own learning because I struggled to read and did not want to be in school. I was incredibly shy. I think that one important thing to take away from this article is that differentiated instruction within the classroom is crucial and can help a struggling readers grow in confidence.]]> 2022-09-28 22:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318336534 Alexis Z. Diaz Personal Connection https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318337363 As a bilingual teacher I use anchor charts to remind students of what are the key concepts we talked about and what’s important. ]]> 2022-09-28 22:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318337363 Vanessa Hernandez vhernandez322 https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318337618 A connection I made to the article was with Brenda. Brenda disliked going to school, cried, and wanted her mom to pick her up early.  When I was in Kindergarten, I disliked going to school, cried every morning, and complained about a stomach ache just so I could leave early. ]]> 2022-09-28 22:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318337618 Kaitlyn Dougherty https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318338122 I know you need to include all four strategies for success but would it be beneficial to have a favorite method and stick to it?

I understand how student-selected vocabulary is possible, but what about questions asking about plot comprehension?]]> 2022-09-28 22:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318338942 Amy Palacios apalacios19 https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318338976 I was wondering if including parents to the community would facilitate children’s learning?

I would constantly try and make up excuses as to why I didn't want to go to school or if I was already in class I would say that my head or stomach hurt so that I could go to the nurses office. ]]> 2022-09-28 22:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318339728 Stratton Stiefvater https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318341928 How many students struggle with understanding/learning in each classroom?]]> 2022-09-28 22:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318341928 Kendall Edmonds https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318345927 One connection I had to the article was that growing up I carried myself like I was dumb and incapable of learning. It took one teacher to change my narrative and show me that I was capable! Teachers must try to see the best in their students, and focus on finding opportunities for their students to grow. ]]> 2022-09-28 23:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318345927 A connection I have with the article is having the students be included in the class. I try to push my students a little to get more involved in class, a lot of times they doubt themself about what they know. nmejia217 https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318349114 2022-09-28 23:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318349114 Valerie Atkinson https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318354091 One connection I had to the article was when put in a class where the teacher doesn't really care about your education or learning I've tended not to either. The amount of effort and care the teacher puts into their classroom can do a lot to a student's motivation.]]> 2022-09-28 23:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318354091 Rebecka Chase https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2318364838 A question I had was: How do you assess 
students reading level at the beginning of the year?

I did have teachers who believed in me and were patient and willing to work with me. ]]> 2022-09-29 14:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2319516371 Lisseth Carballo lcarballo1 https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2320216981 What exactly are you supposed to do when you are giving a lesson but only one student doesn't really understand at all? Do we just let that student sit there with the rest of the class even though their mind is someplace else? ]]> 2022-09-30 00:15:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cstearns13/t864wr9reygroy4s/wish/2320216981
