She reached into her pocket, pulled out the small metal tool she used to open windows and slid it along the edge of the glass, carefully removing it. “You’re here! “Yeah, whatever, go back to sleep, kid.” “Here you are.” She’d stepped back in horror. His lower lip wobbled. “I’m not drunk.

11 Alternatives to "Round Robin" (and "Popcorn") Reading Round Robin Reading (RRR) has been a classroom staple for over 200 years and an activity that over half of K-8 teachers report using in one of its many forms, such as Popcorn Reading. RRR's popularity endures, despite overwhelming criticism that the practice is ineffective for its stated purpose: enhancing fluency, word decoding, and comprehension. Cecile Somme echoes that perspective in Popcorn Reading: The Need to Encourage Reflective Practice: "Popcorn reading is one of the sure-fire ways to get kids who are already hesitant about reading to really hate reading."

Vårens arbete med Allmänna råden för planering och genomförande I början av detta läsår skrev jag här på bloggen om det arbete vi gjort med att all personal fick beskriva vår skolas undervisningskultur i juni-15. Utifrån vad vi fick syn på i personals beskrivningar blev en ”åtgärd” att vi, under läsåret 15-16, skulle arbeta med Skolverkets Allmänna råd för planering och genomförande. (Under ht15 fördjupade vi oss i Lgr11 kap2, finna att läsa i detta blogginlägg). Vi köpte hem ett stort antal ”råd” så att all personal kunde få den analogt (förutom att ha den digitalt nedladdad i sina iPads). Skolverket har gjort en kort, informativ film, som beskriver upplägget och innehållet i råden: Vi inledde arbetet i januari med en gemensam samling för all personal. ”Backa bandet” ”zooma ut” (många nyanställda lärare)Hitta samstämmighet i uppdrag, lära av och med varandraSynliggöra våra bilder av uppdrag med varandra I vårens kalendarie satte vi även ut speciell ”Allmänna-råd-tid” (både mötestid på em samt på studiedagar).
