 6. Literacy Powerline

Children’s and Family Literacy

The work of Padak and Rasinski (2003) reviewed the effectiveness of family literacy programs and showed the benefits to all the component parts of the programs: the children, the parents, the families and the communities of those involved, especially in terms of both school attendance and achievement. The research indicated that family literacy programs impacted children‘s motivation, social skills, attitudes and even health. One significant finding was adult learner persistence increased when parents were enrolled in family literacy programs as opposed to only adult education classes. Another was that families in family literacy programs reported improved relationships and increased parental involvement in their children‘s educational activities.

NCFL inspires and engages families in the pursuit of education and learning together.
  • Children’s reading scores improve dramatically when their parents are involved in helping them learn to read.
  • Low family income and a mother’s lack of education are the two biggest risk factors that hamper a child’s early learning and development.

Getting Ready for School: Emergency Lesson Plans Packet






Teachers cannot predict to 100% accuracy when they will not be available to be in their classroom. Now is a great time to research and prepare a packet for times when you're not in the room. I used a small, portable hanging file labeled largely and obviously and a huge flashing police light on top like one on a police car. (Kidding about the flashing light. But having subbed myself, I know it takes a moment to get oriented as you walk in the assigned class and spot the lesson plans which you have seriously prayed are there somewhere. )

I won't berate negligent teachers who do not regularly leave nor update lesson plans for subs. We realize that is substandard teaching. Now is a good time to resolve any deficit. Update as soon as your class list or other emergency info changes . Of course, the sub doesn't have to teach an important lesson, but do leave substantial work. The kids will benefit from being anchored to the work, and there will be less mischief. Have the sub fill out a report page for you, with info in case you want her/him back.

Good principals (at least at middle school) require teachers to have plans on file with administrative assistants who give the sub packets to the substitute teachers as they sign in. This makes perfect sense for effectively insuring a safe and productive day for the students and teacher.

It is a great idea for the sub to bring her/his own emergency lesson plans, just in case. Sub Hub is a link below that may help

Here are some good ideas:

Getting Ready For School: Recordkeeping

'Perfect' Record Book? Sounds like famous last words.
With a little time to evaluate how to improve, here are some links with suggestions to make your teaching task easier. Recordkeeping can be a rather personal style choice, sometimes districts provide programs on your teacher computer. The last link, concerning parent-teacher communication, is an area of greatest need for improvement in general, by my observation.

6. Establishing effective record keeping
http://teachersnetwork.org/ntol/howto/align/c15768,.htm

It is my experience that when documenting parent communication teachers are least effective, maybe because communication by phone or text is frequently on the run away from desk computers or written record books. But it is very crucial to document all communication with parents.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

William Shakespeare

SONNET 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st;
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
