I agree with Cranky oops I mean Renee. When will the powers that be learn
that life is not scripted? There is no canned scripted program that is
ever
going to be completely successful. What happened to teaching children to
be
independent thinkers which includes life lessons about making appropriate
choices and taking responsibility for ones own actions? What happened to
spontaneity and teachable moments? Some of the best learning that I have
ever witnessed was seizing that precious moment in time and building
something
long lasting with it. So Renee if you are cranky then I guess I am the
grouch!

In my District they want us to use the gradual release model but
they also want us to tell the children (I teach Gr.2) when we are
changing to the next phase. They want to hear in our lessons that
we are saying I do, we do together, and you do alone. That way the
children will know what their job is.
Does your district think children do not know "what their job is"
when you say to them "ok you're going to work in a group now" or
"this one you are doing by yourself"?
My question is...Do most of you use the words to signal your
children to change to the next phase? Or do you just make sure that
your lessons have all of the phases??
no on both counts
I am not one who believes that *every lesson* needs to include a
prescribed list of certain components decided by somebody who isn't
even in my classroom.
In fact, I think this is silliness. Sounds like a scripted version of
a gradual release model, which is not supposed to be a checklist but
an overall way of doing things.
Call me cranky.
Renee
