Entry 1

The teacher I interviewed believes that a strong sense of community must be established to create comfort and support for all beginning readers and writers. She also says that creating access to strategies and skills, and making sure that each student is appropriately challenged and supported by proper English Language instruction should be a priority. I agree with this philosophy because students should be comforted and accepted in the learning environment to be successful learners. I also agree that teachers should practice research based instruction in the classroom to reach every child as a learner.
