Check out the article on pg. 11 of TC Today‘s Spring 2008 issue. The article is moving and an excellent read.
“Speaking with an Educator’s Voice”
Published by Stacey Shubitz
I am a literacy consultant who focuses on writing workshop. I've been working with K-6 teachers and students since 2009. Prior to that, I was a fourth and fifth-grade teacher in New York City and Rhode Island. I'm the author of Craft Moves (Stenhouse Publishers, 2016) and the co-author of Jump Into Writing (Zaner-Bloser, 2021), Welcome to Writing Workshop (Stenhouse Publishers, 2019), and Day By Day (Stenhouse, 2010). I live in Central Pennsylvania with my husband and children. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, doing Pilates, cooking, baking, making ice cream, and reading novels. View all posts by Stacey Shubitz
I am going to share this article with our staff. It has many powerful points that will resonate with their efforts. We can’t hear this enough: “Your job will take much more than just building literacy and numeracy… Every kid needs an advocate whose task is to help that child succeed. Every child has to be loved.Every child has a story that has to be known—we have to pull it out of them. There’s no greater charge.” Her comments about equity are compelling. Thank you.
