Through the class discussion we have realized that these are strategies for teaching and that there is no correct answer. If you look at my reading response to Chapter 1 page 10 in the Response Forum, I focus on the topic of Adequate Staffing because I feel that it is important for teachers to share ideas and assist each other. I think that it benefits all teachers if they share ideas and divide up lessons among each other. For example, one week one or two teachers will come up with the science activity for all teachers of that grade. This allows the teachers to work together as a team rather than doing everything alone.
Teachers learn from each other by working together as a team and sharing ideas.
I know that when I start teaching that I would like to work at a school where the teachers work together like this. If you look at my reading response to the Schools Children Deserve in the Response Forum I focus on the impact of grades. After reading that article I realized that as a future teacher I can not judge my students solely by their grades. Grades are really just something extra for the teacher and students to worry about and that they don't prove that each student has actually grasped the concept. As a teacher this tells me that I should constantly be assessing my students in some way to make sure that they are understanding and to give them plenty of hands on activities.
