I know one of our previous principals said that the most qualifiedteachers should work w/ our struggling learners, and he said it was research-based. Sorry I don't know more details.

Prior to this, the highest students were sent while classroom tchrs worked w/lowest five students (30 min.daily). I am strongly opposed to this move. With a reading specialist degree, and nat. board candidate in literacy, I know that the at-risk students need me, their classroom teacher. I have a vested interest in their learning and I know about their interests and learning styles. I certainly have studied the field of education, esp. reading more that than the tchr aides. I will say their classroom offers a nice variety of materials (that look as new today as they did five years ago). Anyway, I need research regarding the importance of at- risk, weak learners benefiting from instruction from their teacher rather than a teacher's assistant.

Short story . . . we were told that the students shouldn't be just reading during the readingblock,they should be working at theirstation, etc. So I lexile leveled ALL of my books (over 500), gave thestudents their level, and a journal.Told then if they have a book THEY BETTER HAVE THEIR JOURNALS! Anywaymyquestion is this... first I love journaling with the kids! I have afewhttp://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org .due each day and just write a little but my question is . .. should I chat with them about theirgrammar,puncuation, etc?
