Re: [MOSAIC] Gradual release
Bev... What a thoughtful post...it leads to something I have been thinking about, and that is the structure through which we teach literacy is of grave importance. My district has Writer's Workshop...but not a Literacy Studio/Reader's Workshop. For years we taught a whole group lesson followed by two reading groups...then gave teachers permission to be flexible in how they teach reading. Without sufficient PD, that has become a LOT of whole group lessons. We purchased an anthology for teachers to use as a resource for reading, but for many that resource has become a crutch...and so while we read Miller and Keene, and teach our comprehension strategies, they don't always become part of our students' independent repetoire. I think that part of the reason for this is that our basal has a strategy being taught for two weeks...it marches students through the gradual release model together (or sometimes neglects the we do or guided practice section). We don't work at each student's pace...those kids who have already mastered the strategy get it again. Those who need more modeling don't get it. And so... we leave some behind and fail to push others ahead. If we put our money into PD to help teachers use a workshop model, the structure for differentiation is in place, making it more likely to be implemented. I used to think that the structure for instruction didn't matter, it was the philosophy behind it that mattered. I am changing my thinking at this point, now that I am out of the classroom. The structure supports the good teaching...and allows us to use the gradual release model that Debbie describes rather than marching students through a flow chart lock step.

In truth, rarely are any two members of a class ready for exactly the same instruction at the same time. Yes, the teacher may provide instruction, guide practice, etcetera, but when we consider what is learned rather than what is taught, each path is different. Because of that alone, we know the linear model of the release to independence is incomplete or inadequate. I think the NAEYC'S model of learning aids understanding. I also greatly admire Ellin Keene's thinking in To Understand describing her journey to understand understanding (and implicit comprehension strategy instruction). I also think Jerome Harste and company's thinking when they write about mucking around is illustrative. It's always so hard to try to wrestle something so complex as this topic into boxes and flow charts and graphics. It's almost as hard to corral it in words. And it must be frustrating to write about an understanding which is dynamic at its core and have it remain there in print.

Re: [MOSAIC] Gradual release
The post you're speaking to was actually my second post yesterday. I wish I had a dollar for every post I carefully wrote and then lost because of silly tech glitches. I no longer remember all I wanted to say, but the main part was probably dealing with the NAEYC'S model of learning. Through the years I've found it to be true of virtually all learning, no matter the age of the learner or the content. The model purports that all learning begins with awareness and proceeds to exploration, then inquiry, and last utilization. It's not linear, nor clean and neat, nor predictable, nor simple, nor uniform. I believe that model aids and deepens understanding of the release to independence. I also believe Jerry Harste's discussion of like processes, often called mucking around, is illustrative. It's time we begin to discuss again the differences between teaching and learning. All too often in the last few years, there has been the unperceived inconsistency and underlying assumption that everything that is taught is learned and, even sillier, that nothing is learned unless it is taught. Whole class instruction comes from that thinking. Learning is something done by the child, not to the child, and we need to remember that. Often differentiation is a necessary result of teaching large groups in a too-narrow fashion, rather than being open-ended enough to accommodate differences among learners. You mention anthologies. I believe that publishers, in their attempt to be all things to all people so as to increase sales, have/use inadequate PD on their part as well. That often results in whole-class teaching. If the district doesn't extend the teachers' understandings, or challenge assumptions, release to independence becomes just one more buzz phrase.

Re: [MOSAIC] Gradual release
Bev... Thanks for taking it deeper...as I ponder your comments, I realize that what's most important for schools and teachers goes beyond a model for gradual release, even beyond a structure for instruction. It comes down to what do we believe about teaching and learning...values...beliefs. Learning is something done by the child, not to the child you wrote... I love that. It is a belief that is at the core, I think, of constructivist philosophy. Our role, then, as teacher is to be as you say open-ended enough to accomodate distances between learners. As I read Opening Minds, and think about: 1. the language we as teachers could be using to create a sense of agency in students 2. the language teachers could use to to develop a student conception of the teacher as a co-learner with students...and 3. the language teachers use to develop a sense of agency...I realize that the words we use as teachers illustrate, in many ways, our core beliefs and whether or not we really do believe in . Kids who feel judged by their teachers...Kids that feel that a performance is either good or bad...students learn that effort does not matter because people are either good at reading or bad at it...and so there is no point in trying. So if we as teachers want to be open ended enough to accomodate distances between learners they first have to believe that they can actually affect students' skills. The implications of this for me as a professional developer is that I need to continue to help teachers develop clear ideas of their core values and build their capacity to believe in their students. One final thought. I think a lot of people think they are constructivist, but are not. I also think that for me, and for many, constructivism is not something you decide one day that you believe. It is a journey. If you, as a teacher are reflective, if you learn from your kids, if you respect them and see as inexperienced people who are very capable of learning...one may eventually become constructivist even if you don't start that way. I am still on my journey--deciding what I believe about kids as learners and about me as teacher, leaning toward constructivism in thought, but not always in action. I do spend time thinking about my beliefs and using them to guide my teaching decisions. And perhaps that, in the end, is what really matters. That we are clear what we believe and act upon those beliefs. Whew... from gradual release to this!!! :-) I blame you, Bev. Your emails often get me thinking. Love you for it! Jennifer L. Palmer, Ed.

Re: [MOSAIC] Opening Minds
Ok. The book study is on! Sorry Laura and Keith... I know better... Should have had folks reply to me... Not the list. Everyone plan to get their copy by the end of the month. During the last week of January I'll post a full schedule. Sent from my iPhone On Jan 4, 2013, at 7:55 PM, readingla...@aol.com readingla...@aol.com wrote: Just do the study right here.
