I've been told that my books are great, cathartic therapy for teachers. Laugh at my misery and feel a little better about your own! #teachersofinstagram #teachermisery #teachersfollowteachers

This is why teachers quit #3

Being evaluated in a pandemic. Wearing a mask is not on the rubric. Neither is teaching click and brick at the same time. And yet, the teacher is marked down for class behavior management. Seriously? You try it. One time. See how you manage.

Sometimes all you can do is provide the tools, it’s up to them to use them. Lessons learned. • • • #comicsofinstagram #teachersofinstagram #teachermisery #citymousecomic #webcomic #illustration (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2wVKnWgvEm/?igshid=ln4bbys21uwo

On Teaching Literacy

Fellow educators, @teachermisery​ and followers, student teachers, I’d love to know your thoughts and experiences in regards to teaching reading!

I’m curious. Given my age and the state that I live in, I feel that I was prepared well in regards to teaching reading properly. But, I want to know what the experience has been like for others.

This post is based on this article; I recommend listening to/reading it: https://www.apmreports.org/story/2019/08/22/whats-wrong-how-schools-teach-reading

Please Share About Any of the Following:

- Did your teacher preparation program prepare you to teach phonics, cueing, another method? Do you feel it did not prepare you teach teach reading at all?

- Do you feel, "I didn't really know anything about how kids learn to read when I started teaching," and/or “Cueing was appealing because they didn't know what else to do.”?

- I still don’t really know how to teach reading, I just use the district provided curriculum. (If this is you, you’re not alone. I highly suggest you begin by reading the attached article.)

- What state/country do you teach in? How long have you been teaching? What decade/years did you take your teacher preparation program? How old are you?

- If you’ve been teaching for many years or in different states, how have the methods of teaching reading varied?

- Have you worked for schools that enforce outdated methods of teaching reading? Do you currently need to teach using these methods? (memorizing, using context to guess words, skipping words they don't know and no to little phonics; Goodman, Dick and Jane, Three Cueing, MSV, Picture Power, Lips Fish, Eagle Eye, Skippy Frog, Fountas and Pinnell)

-Other thoughts on this issue.

"We should look through the materials and search for evidence of cueing," she said. "And if it's there, don't touch it. Don't let it get near our kids, don't let it get near our classrooms, our teachers." (article mentioned above)
