In the article on Tampa Bay Times, Cynthia Brame indicated that “ What I think makes it effective is, it gives instructors the…

What Classroom-based assessment meant by what I understood, was that it is different assessments that the teachers use in the classroom all the time. I believe the difference she has said was like the more teacher use assessment, the less “hit or miss” decisions will be.

The first paragraph on page 490 under the “The Basic Talk: Gain Their Cooperation” section is moving. I agree with everything that is said but I could have never put it into words like the book.

When I started elementary school I struggled to read books. My kindergarten teachers Mrs. Stover and Mr. Brown would always send me home with reading assignments. I remember the long dreadful nights struggling to read a different Dr. Seuss book every night. My mother is the one who taught me how to read. If it was not for her long hours of dedication to…

financial assistance, these children tend to be the ones that fall through the cracks.
