I learned a lot tonight! I think we all did very well in presenting the key points of our chapters, even if I did run over my time. But as I shared in class, it's hard for me to leave information out because I don't know what might be important to you. What I came away with tonight was: that children need a lot of reading and language experiences in order for them to develop their literacy skills; they have to have a supportive environment for interaction and feedback; that parents are key to their children's ability to succeed in school; that the learning process is multi-tiered and so complex and that there is a lot of room for adults to fail at recognizing what children really need and providing those appropiate supports for the children. For me, developing the literacy of students is a really big responsibility.
You did a wonderful job tonight on your presentation. I always learn so much when you present. I also enjoy discussing the chapters with you, so insightful. Good work!

ReplyDeleteI think our of all the chapters that was presented, yours was the most interesting. The content that you presented was very relateable. I connected in many ways to it because I am experiencing alot of language development with my daughter.
