The Worst Type of Racism

Posted February 21st, 2009 at 11:16 AM by Ldlane (Reading on the Rez!)
Updated February 22nd, 2009 at 04:40 PM by Ldlane

When I talk about the “worst type” of racism in the United States I’m not speaking about grown men walking around in sheets and hoods, the rebel flag, or even mascots. Right or wrong those are things that you can “deal with” and are visible. I’m speaking about standards for future professionals at our major universities and the treatment of minority professionals in general.

One of the things that I’ve noticed while working, is that many of our native teachers are not properly trained...

Teacher Ed.: Out of Step with the "Reality" of the Classroom

Posted February 2nd, 2009 at 10:15 PM by Ldlane (Reading on the Rez!)
Updated February 22nd, 2009 at 04:14 PM by Ldlane

“Why can’t we just group the same level students together?” asked the student teacher. I explained to her that if we grouped them by their current level the research shows that they continue to stay behind the other students and actually fall further behind as they advance through school. She looked at me bewildered and said “OK” and looked at me, as if I were from outer space when I talked about differentiation of instruction and the use of literacy centers to target...

Searching for the "Lost Instructional Model" (A Reflection)

Posted June 11th, 2008 at 11:45 AM by Ldlane (Reading on the Rez!)

As a teacher and a coach I feel that it is always a good thing to be open to different methods for instructing learners of all types. This may require that we be open to alternative viewpoints and that we must "change" the way we think about our instruction. In my opinion, there is no room for the "It worked for me, it will work for them" attitude in education. Which brings me to my latest revelation as the school year has ended and the test results are in (We didn't make...

Our Strategy for Attacking the Reading Problems at School: Response to Intervention

Posted April 8th, 2008 at 11:29 PM by Ldlane (Reading on the Rez!)
Updated April 9th, 2008 at 05:24 PM by Ldlane

As many of you know, my wife and I are Reading Coaches at a school on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. We both taught at this school from 1998 - 2004. We left, got development and came back to help improve the school that we started teaching at some 10 years ago. What I am going to present in this blog is our strategy (Our whole teaching staff K-8) to help our students.

A Nice Little Offense to Run: 1-3-1 High Post/Motion Offense

Posted December 28th, 2007 at 10:54 AM by Ldlane (Reading on the Rez!)

Sue me! I said the dreaded two words, High Post here on Tidefans! I thought I would share my favorite offense and our present offense here on Tidefans. Of course, when I don't have a player that I can put in the High Post we run something else. So here it is!

The Philosophy here is to attack the Zone from the side and attack the basket instead of throwing up low percentage 3's. You can use this against a zone defense or Man-to-Man. If they start "packing" the zone...
