Does anyone have any ideas for what a grade 4 could do for the "spring
concert" I would like it to be sensational! Thanks in advance for your
thoughts.

As of right now, we don't have a basal and at my level we use novels.
But,
that will probably change next year and it's not because of our
principal. A
lot of our teachers want a basal because - I'm quoting here - it will
tell
me what to do! I can't believe this! I'm getting so frustrated because
I
simply think they're being lazy. I have repeatedly shared websites,
resources, and yahoogroups with them but now of them choose to use them.
I
think only one other teacher in the building has even heard of MOT or
Strategies That Work.

Is there any schools/districts who are not invested in a "program" or
series and using a comprehensive literacy model approach finding data
and
research providing the effectiveness? I am wondering because I am in a
school that once had a balanced literacy model implemented then when
administration and times changed, so did the model and they went with a
basal series to provide "continuity" which some teachers need and love
and
left others feeling hopeless. I have been looking at models again but
know
that with funding issues, implementing a model in its entirety may not
be
the most effective if it doesn't get implemented in it entirety! So, are
there any schools that have created their own literacy frameworks and
allows
it to grow and change based on their students' needs?
