I am reading (devouring) her book Reading with Meaning and it has changed things for the better in my classroom. I absolutely wish that others in my district would devour a book and apply it to their classrooms and use best practices, but much like you have said, I think they're waiting for the easy way. I am one of only a few who is trying to encourage our district to NOT purchase a basal series. Every time I read something about teachers doing the "hard" thing; researching, reading, applying new strategies, analyzing, assessing their students' needs - it inspires me to keep fighting for what I know is right!<BR/>Thanks!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990806588804086952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119769200546156350.post-3858058511157998202007-11-28T20:25:00.000-05:002007-11-28T20:25:00.000-05:00Sarah, I hear you loud and clear!!
