Good read---Mike Schmoker has rebutted NCTE's position statement calling to "decenter" the reading of books and the writing of essays: edweek.org/teaching-learning…

The purpose of education isn't only to impart knowledge and skills. It's to instill a love of learning.   Intellectual curiosity is seeing as much beauty in ideas and data as you do in art and music. A mark of a great teacher is a room filled with intrinsic motivation.

Slowing down the brainstorming part of the writing process and recognizing the emotionality of feedback has big rewards for two published authors, in addition to our young classroom writers.
