  • Reflections on Framing Literacy 9,

    So chapter 6 talks about individual assessment and planning. I walk by other teacher’s rooms and I see them sitting in the doorway of their classroom working on one student while watching the others. I see that and wonder if I could do that. With me I think that it would be easier to hold a certain number of students every day after school or before. I need to go over each on my students individually subject by subject to better understand where they are and what way might best speed them on their course towards development. Better yet I could go through with each student, their reading and writing inventory and other such assessments and then reflect on how best to elicit increased progression through the five frames of literacy.

    I know that I need to do it but it just seems like so overwhelming a task. I feel swamped, over my head and under the table at the same time. I shouldn’t complain really since probably every other teacher has at least as challenging a time of it as me.

    When I think about where I might be in five months, that is –what ideas I might have for my present problems- I realize that many of the assessments which would give me insight to individual students could be derived by simple class projects wherein I make and take those mental notes talked about in an earlier chapter.
