MI - Chapter 4 - What Really Matters in Planning for Student Success

The nine attitudes and skills from this chapter would have made an excellent addition to our good teacher lists for Beth. I liked the section about accepting responsibility for learner success. The scenario where Mrs. Pasarella spent extra time with the advanced and struggling learners felt good to me. I would say that the only problem is the students in between who could be on the edge of being a struggling learner or have the potential to be an advanced learner. Where do they fit in? Mr. Alvarez has the right idea by keeping a tally of the number of time each student speaks. Making sure everyone is speaking is a big part of having an open and supportive environment to work in.
