How are scholarships focused on need even exist with this??

clarity of expression through the use of precise images.

Sound level: Let's flee from rhyme, please. Listen, though, for the texture on the fabric of each word you put in my mouth. Sour starburst makes rain. Grit of clay and straw the crunch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonaesthetics

what is "actionable" data? use data to inform critical equity-focused transformation efforts to provide us with an image of what it means to personally engage in equity work.

Use of setting details to judge previous owners

self-deprecating. adopting her husband's condescension?

breaking the 'fourth wall' by acknowledging this is a story in print? Uncommon.

I disagree with this simplistic portrayal of "guide on the side" and the "sage" -- students can and must have opportunities to choose, to lead, to follow their curiosities and connections to 'shared knowledge' without abandoning the path/curriculum.

I think Hirsch should also stipulate that charter schools are not necessarily 'the' way forward. The implication is the opposite.

This is a justification for IRW, where a shared text and the sustained and shared reading of, talking about, and writing about (testing ideas to other experience), and sharing this in a group can elevate the 'ratcheting' ...

How 'big' is this?! "We thus individualized a skill that is inherently social. Literacy is based upon shared background knowledge between writer and reader." -- I've thought R is inherently individual and strive to "make" it social, whereas Hirsch states the opposite. How this effects "reading" instruction?

or "prior knowledge" per reading theory

"accumulates modifications over time (what we call the ‘ratchet effect’). This difference results from the facts that (i) human social learning ... oriented towards process than product and (ii) unique forms of human cooperation lead to active teaching, social motivations for conformity and normative sanctions against non-conformity.... these unique processes of social learning and cooperation lead to humans’ unique form of cumulative cultural evolution."

unclear on what this means in this context

center student experience, perceptions and then move toward/into conversation re course objectives, processes, expectations

Um, yes. I am.

using a checklist sounds like a good idea
