Famous Teacher Quotes
Students of PLN 5 – Informational Reading and Writing
February, 2010
“When students develop the questions, rather than the teacher, the
students have more of an innate need to find
the answer.”B. Ion
“…there are so many different types of text that to just teach one comprehension
strategy is not enough.”
L. Skritch
“PLN 5 seems to be a lot of common sense given
a name.”D. Moore
“…I generally think of a text as: ‘the kids really like this,’ ‘they are going to hate this’
or ‘this is super easy,’ ‘this is going to be challenging’ and
haven’t really thought of them as working together.
J. Martin
“As a teacher, I wish I could find that spark in many of the students to enjoy reading, for
them to recognize that it is something they will be doing forever and if they read more
it will become easier.”W. Hile
“The most important point…is that teachers
use round robin, student reading aloud and
‘popcorn’ reading too much.”
B. Shawley
“If we read one section of the text and another
source words things differently, they struggle to see the connection. ”
L. Earon
“Text-mapping allows you to really dig into the dirt of the information,
sifting through the material you may not
need to find the treasure underneath.”
L. Hoy
“As I observe my students, I notice that this makes them feel
more comfortable when they know what
is expected. The prompts give them a guideline to follow.”
V. Eggler
“…I realize that many of my students struggle with
informational text and need specific help and
tips to improve.”
J. Temple
“…it is imperative that the educators of today recognize the levels of informational text and how to best present them to the ever-changing student
population.” P. Dale
“These journal entries almost write
themselves.”D. Winslow
“How can teachers know what to do
when?”
C. Janerella
“They [students] must have more instructional time
and be taught several different strategies that
would enable them to practice.”
T. Ankney
“…-bribery sometimes
works.”
N. Miller
“I can’t believe the German Shepherd didn’t
take best in show!!”C. McKivison
“If my students are enjoying a book I
hesitate and try to refrain from stopping to answer questions. … I realize I have to stand back and get out of the
way!” L. Higgins
“Then when she talked about the
text-mapping strategy I thought
she was crazy.”
H. Moore
“Masquerading as a normal person day
after day is exhausting.”
E. Hines
“Teaching reading and writing has now become the job of all educators in public schools no
matter which content area they are certified.”
L. Rhine
“We also tend to suck the passion out of reading because we go
about it all wrong.”
K. Deems
“This scrolling crap works.”
K. Marquardt
“I sometimes wish there were an easy diagnostic menu which told teachers the remedy to poor comprehension.
For example, if students are showing A, and they are missing B, scroll down and letter C should work in a jiffy!”
J. Gentzyel
“My students need to see bits and pieces and sometimes are overwhelmed when it
comes to handouts, reading assignments, or notes.
Finding a way to give them small doses of material at a
time is crucial to their development and
frustrations.”R. Veltri
“It takes only a few sentences before they are
confused and overly frustrated with their lack of
understanding.”
R. Broughton
“…we pickup on visual cues all the time and
adjust our approaches. Students let us know when they are experiencing text
that is too difficult.”
Wisely stated by the amazing R. Dilley!
