My worry for fall is that in the process of updating curriculum to to be ‘in the moment’, most of the texts will be about slavery, police brutality, segregation etc... there won’t be many texts that just celebrate joy. Remember that we are more than the stories of our pain.

Once upon a time, a school I was in had issues w/kids arguing w/staff not following our instructions. So SLT introduced the micro script: ‘first time, every time’. Anytime we gave a direction, we used that phrase and there was a clear sanction if pupils didn’t follow. Magic.

There is something really sad creeping into English. We summarise plot to practice w/ extracts, we skip poems as ‘it probably won’t come up’ and only annotate main points instead of a full text. How do we expect kids to study our subject if we keep showing them we don’t value it?

Thoughts on the 100% Strategy: I don’t think you can ever have 100% pupil engagement. You can have the semblance of engagement, which is more likely to be compliance, but expecting 100% of pupils to be fully engaged with their minds 100% of the time seems far fetched.

@TchKimPossible There’s too much of an allegiance to whole class novel teaching. Kids need more time at school to read. More access to books they want to read. And more social experiences connected to reading such as books clubs where they have choice and can read at their own pace.
