The new DI gestapo are way more driven than to let someone teach without "fidelity." In other words both figurtivly and literally, there are no more closed doors..

Have your classes been successful? ( I bet they have!) Close your door and teach what you know is right--have "alternate" plans when observers are there. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: "Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group" <[email protected]>

I have run my class for 25 years with a hands-on meaningful curriculum. I am now told I have to read page to page from a textbook. So, now what?

Many boys learn by doing... Handling things...
Too many classrooms require boys to sit and be quiet. That's not how they learn. They associate reading with school, sitting still...

In addition, we often don't value the kinds of reading they like.

Finally, it is cultural ... What does our culture expect from our boys?
