I am wondering if there isn't more Reading Workshop and Writing
Workshop because of the inherent shift toward more student control and
less teacher control. And.... horrors.... less district control!
It makes perfect sense to me to do readers' and writers' workshops and
I don't even think a whole staff needs to be doing it if the
administrator is supportive. But how many administrators are supportive
these days?

You
know, a mini lesson and a solid long block of reading time, and a few
share
out at the end. During that time, all children are reading at their
own
independent level in books that are "just right" for them in terms of
difficulty and interest.
