This is the value of the teacher, who looks at a face and says there's something behind that and I want to reach that person, I want to influence that person, I want to encourage that person, I want to enrich, I want to call out that person who is behind that face, behind that color, behind that language, behind that tradition, behind that culture. I believe you can do it. I know what was done for me. —Maya Angelou. ____ Nevada teachers (K-12) need to use more strategies that push students to the . analysis. and . evaluation. level (Bloom’s) when teaching reading and writing.. ____ Nevada teachers (K-12) need to improve their abilities to model and teach both authentic pre-writing and revision strategies..

For Kylene Beers, the question of what to do when kids can\'t read surfaced abruptly in 1979 when she began teaching. That year, she discovered that some of the students in her seventh-grade language arts classes could pronounce all the words, but couldn\'t make any sense of the text. Others couldn\'t even pronounce the words. And that was the year she met a boy named George.George couldn\'t read. When George\'s parents asked her to explain what their son\'s reading difficulties were and what she was going to do to help, Kylene, a secondary certified English teacher with no background in reading, realized she had little to offer the parents, even less to offer their son. That defining moment sent her on a twenty-three-year search for answers to that original question: how do we help middle and high schoolers who can\'t read?Now in her critical and practical text When Kids Can\'t Read - What Teachers Can Do: A Guide for Teachers 6-12, Kylene shares what she has learned and shows teachers how to help struggling readers with comprehension vocabulary fluency word recognition motivation Here, Kylene offers teachers the comprehensive handbook they\'ve needed to help readers improve their skills, their attitudes, and their confidence. Filled with student transcripts, detailed strategies, reproducible material, and extensive booklists, this much-anticipated guide to teaching reading both instructs and inspires. Dr. George M.

We can, whenever we choose, successfully teach all children whose schooling is of interest to us. We already know more than we need to do that. Whether or not we do it must finally depend on how we feel about the fact that we haven’t so far.. There is no national monument for teachers. I have never seen a statue of a teacher. But we all build monuments for teachers in our hearts.Teachers change our lives. Teachers draw us out of our own tiny little worlds, and give us a broader worldview. They open our hearts and minds to new possibilities.Everyone has a story about a teacher who changed his or her life. Everyone has a story about a teacher who had a huge impact on his or her life. And people wish they could reconnect with that teacher and thank him or her.One of the reasons teachers have such a profound impact on our lives is because their work is tired so closely to the meaning and purpose of life. Every parent has the same dream for their child: They want their children to become the-best-version-of-themselves. Teachers share this dream. At the heart of this gift we call teaching is the very same dream.
