This summer at a retreat at Center For Teaching Quality, I was asked about one of my greatest accomplishments as an educator so far. Of course I thought of the Whole Novels program, a method for working with novels in the ELA classroom that I've been developing with Madeleine Ray, my mentor from Bank Street and fellow Bank Street alum, Nancy Toes Tangel. I've written about it in a few blog posts: A Room Full of Thinkers and Journey Story in Five Chapters.
In this video I discuss the effects of the program in very general terms:
Stay tuned for news on the manuscript I'm finally working on that's all about the Whole Novels program!
A Room Full of Thinkers these is very notable predicting that their students will fail at the task, or that they, as teachers, will fail to teach the content they feel obliged to cover.

Fabulous idea in making the students successful. I don’t feel that is the correct method in predicting about their students and where they are at weak. Making them succeed in all aspects is far better than predicting about their weakness. Teachers have to keep thinking about their future than predicting about their failures.
