These conditions produce situations in which adolescents are highly engaged with reading and writing."
My thoughts: If students are not engaged, or interested, they will not be as successful. As educators, we need to find rich literature that students are interested in. The challenge is with a curriculum we have less freedom. With that said, we need to find ways to engage students during small group instruction so that they are succeeding.]]> 2018-05-17 16:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kkennedy310/kkennedyEDU510/wish/261654627 kkennedy310 https://padlet.com/kkennedy310/kkennedyEDU510/wish/261662318 https://feaweb.org/time-on-task-a-teaching-strategy-that-accelerates-learning

Three important time concepts: allocated, engaged, and academic learning time. Allocated is the time that is available to learn. Engaged time is time students are interested in the learning. Studies show more engaged time students have, higher they achieve. Lastly, academic learning time deals with quality. How much time students are actively working on activities that are the appropriate difficulty.]]> 2018-05-17 16:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kkennedy310/kkennedyEDU510/wish/261662318 kkennedy310 https://padlet.com/kkennedy310/kkennedyEDU510/wish/261719392 https://www.choiceliteracy.com/articles-detail-view.php?id=1220

I like how strategy lessons cut right to the point. Maybe with curriculum, something like strategy lessons would be more beneficial.]]> 2018-05-17 19:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kkennedy310/kkennedyEDU510/wish/261719392 kkennedy310 https://padlet.com/kkennedy310/kkennedyEDU510/wish/261721323 "Research shows that beginning readers benefit most from being taught explicit skills during intensive small- group instruction.  The small-group, differentiated reading model enables teachers to focus on specific skills needed by varied groups of children"

We define it as any teaching situation in which dialogue and collaboration within the group are integral to learning. The teacher is still key to this learning. But now their role is to facilitate rather than to direct, to coordinate as much as to communicate, to inspire rather than to inform"
