Principles

Conceptual Framework Themes

LCET

Candidates will come to believe that there is extraordinary power in a small number of comprehension strategies—monitoring comprehension, activating prior knowledge, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, determining importance, and summarizing and synthesizing  as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

3,4,5,7,8,9

Themes:

K, VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that although many children learn to read solely through the act of reading itself, and can be taught to read through an incidental, “intuitive approach,” this approach is simply not adequate for many other children as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,3,8,9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that we can think about our thinking, and children can be taught the language of thought as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,5,9

Themes:

VP, COM, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that some of our deepest pleasure as readers comes from slowing our thought processes so that we can contemplate them. as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD

Principle

9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will learn that “think-alouds” are potent instructional tactics and allow students to comprehend deeply, and students can and will rise to the challenge; however, many think-alouds over a long period are necessary to achieve this as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

CoK, VP, COM, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that comprehension strategy instruction is not a complete reading program, and is not an end in itself as evidenced by class discussion and lesson plans.

Principles

8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain I, III,

Candidates will come to believe in the ability of children, including those in high-poverty schools, to learn to read effectively and with enjoyment as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 9, 10

Themes:

VP, I, CC

Domain III

Candidates will understand that reading is an action sport, and that the action takes place in our minds as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD

Principle

9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain

III

Candidates will understand that comprehension strategy instruction needs to be built on a gradual release of responsibility from teacher to student as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 3,7,8, 9

Theme:

VP, CC

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that there are seven principal comprehension strategies that good readers use when they read—monitoring comprehension, activating prior knowledge, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, determining importance, and summarizing and synthesizing as well as Five Essential Elements of Reading: phonemic awareness, phonics fluency, ,vocabulary and comprehension as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

4,5,7,8,9

Themes:

K, VP

Domains I, III

Candidates will  understand that children do not learn in a lock-step linear fashion, but rather they should learn letters, sounds, words, sentences, and how to comprehend what they read all simultaneously as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain I11

Candidates will understand that asking children an endless string of comprehension questions, or asking them to retell what they read instead of to share their thinking often fails to teach them how to better understand what they read as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that instruction that actively engages students in asking questions, summarizing and synthesizing text, and identifying important ideas improves comprehension as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

K, VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that although comprehension strategy instruction is an important step in the right direction, it is not a panacea, and by itself is not enough to develop avid, proficient readers. It is also critical to provide explicit instruction in decoding, fluency, word analysis, text structures, and vocabulary for children learning to read as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

7,8, 9

Themes:

K, VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that many packaged programs limit teachers’ decision-making about their students, and there is a misconception that rigid adherence to a scripted, one-size-fits-all program leads to better performance and higher achievement in the guise of improved test scores as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains III,

Candidates will understand that kids who think well test well as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD .

Principles

1,2,5,6,9

Theme:

I

Domain 111

Candidates will understand that the vast majority of our students can and do think at high levels, but some do not have the ability to speak and write eloquently about that thinking. Language about thought can be taught. Our goal is to help them develop the language to define and describe their thinking as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that students should be able to “turn up or turn down the volume” on a strategy during reading. For example, when reading expository text, students may “turn up” determining importance and “turn down” inferences and visualization as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

5,8

Theme:

VP

Domain III

Candidates will understand that children should be provided lots of time to read and lots of time to talk about their reading.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP ,I,CC

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that blocks of time for independent reading in the classroom should be gradually increased as the year progresses as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,3,7,8,9

Theme:

VP

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that it is inappropriate and ineffective to “basalize” comprehension strategy instruction as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

Conceptual Framework Themes

LCET

Candidates will come to believe that there is extraordinary power in a small number of comprehension strategies—monitoring comprehension, activating prior knowledge, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, determining importance, and summarizing and synthesizing  as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

3,4,5,7,8,9

Themes:

K, VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that although many children learn to read solely through the act of reading itself, and can be taught to read through an incidental, “intuitive approach,” this approach is simply not adequate for many other children as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,3,8,9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that we can think about our thinking, and children can be taught the language of thought as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,5,9

Themes:

VP, COM, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that some of our deepest pleasure as readers comes from slowing our thought processes so that we can contemplate them. as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD

Principle

9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will learn that “think-alouds” are potent instructional tactics and allow students to comprehend deeply, and students can and will rise to the challenge; however, many think-alouds over a long period are necessary to achieve this as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

CoK, VP, COM, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that comprehension strategy instruction is not a complete reading program, and is not an end in itself as evidenced by class discussion and lesson plans.

Principles

8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain I, III,

Candidates will come to believe in the ability of children, including those in high-poverty schools, to learn to read effectively and with enjoyment as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 9, 10

Themes:

VP, I, CC

Domain III

Candidates will understand that reading is an action sport, and that the action takes place in our minds as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD

Principle

9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain

III

Candidates will understand that comprehension strategy instruction needs to be built on a gradual release of responsibility from teacher to student as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 3,7,8, 9

Theme:

VP, CC

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that there are seven principal comprehension strategies that good readers use when they read—monitoring comprehension, activating prior knowledge, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, determining importance, and summarizing and synthesizing as well as Five Essential Elements of Reading: phonemic awareness, phonics fluency, ,vocabulary and comprehension as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

4,5,7,8,9

Themes:

K, VP

Domains I, III

Candidates will  understand that children do not learn in a lock-step linear fashion, but rather they should learn letters, sounds, words, sentences, and how to comprehend what they read all simultaneously as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain I11

Candidates will understand that asking children an endless string of comprehension questions, or asking them to retell what they read instead of to share their thinking often fails to teach them how to better understand what they read as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that instruction that actively engages students in asking questions, summarizing and synthesizing text, and identifying important ideas improves comprehension as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

K, VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that although comprehension strategy instruction is an important step in the right direction, it is not a panacea, and by itself is not enough to develop avid, proficient readers. It is also critical to provide explicit instruction in decoding, fluency, word analysis, text structures, and vocabulary for children learning to read as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

7,8, 9

Themes:

K, VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that many packaged programs limit teachers’ decision-making about their students, and there is a misconception that rigid adherence to a scripted, one-size-fits-all program leads to better performance and higher achievement in the guise of improved test scores as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains III,

Candidates will understand that kids who think well test well as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD .

Principles

1,2,5,6,9

Theme:

I

Domain 111

Candidates will understand that the vast majority of our students can and do think at high levels, but some do not have the ability to speak and write eloquently about that thinking. Language about thought can be taught. Our goal is to help them develop the language to define and describe their thinking as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that students should be able to “turn up or turn down the volume” on a strategy during reading. For example, when reading expository text, students may “turn up” determining importance and “turn down” inferences and visualization as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

5,8

Theme:

VP

Domain III

Candidates will understand that children should be provided lots of time to read and lots of time to talk about their reading.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP ,I,CC

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that blocks of time for independent reading in the classroom should be gradually increased as the year progresses as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,3,7,8,9

Theme:

VP

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that it is inappropriate and ineffective to “basalize” comprehension strategy instruction as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

Conceptual Framework Themes

LCET

Candidates will come to believe that there is extraordinary power in a small number of comprehension strategies—monitoring comprehension, activating prior knowledge, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, determining importance, and summarizing and synthesizing  as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

3,4,5,7,8,9

Themes:

K, VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that although many children learn to read solely through the act of reading itself, and can be taught to read through an incidental, “intuitive approach,” this approach is simply not adequate for many other children as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,3,8,9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that we can think about our thinking, and children can be taught the language of thought as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,5,9

Themes:

VP, COM, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that some of our deepest pleasure as readers comes from slowing our thought processes so that we can contemplate them. as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD

Principle

9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will learn that “think-alouds” are potent instructional tactics and allow students to comprehend deeply, and students can and will rise to the challenge; however, many think-alouds over a long period are necessary to achieve this as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

CoK, VP, COM, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that comprehension strategy instruction is not a complete reading program, and is not an end in itself as evidenced by class discussion and lesson plans.

Principles

8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain I, III,

Candidates will come to believe in the ability of children, including those in high-poverty schools, to learn to read effectively and with enjoyment as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 9, 10

Themes:

VP, I, CC

Domain III

Candidates will understand that reading is an action sport, and that the action takes place in our minds as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD

Principle

9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain

III

Candidates will understand that comprehension strategy instruction needs to be built on a gradual release of responsibility from teacher to student as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 3,7,8, 9

Theme:

VP, CC

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that there are seven principal comprehension strategies that good readers use when they read—monitoring comprehension, activating prior knowledge, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, determining importance, and summarizing and synthesizing as well as Five Essential Elements of Reading: phonemic awareness, phonics fluency, ,vocabulary and comprehension as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

4,5,7,8,9

Themes:

K, VP

Domains I, III

Candidates will  understand that children do not learn in a lock-step linear fashion, but rather they should learn letters, sounds, words, sentences, and how to comprehend what they read all simultaneously as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain I11

Candidates will understand that asking children an endless string of comprehension questions, or asking them to retell what they read instead of to share their thinking often fails to teach them how to better understand what they read as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that instruction that actively engages students in asking questions, summarizing and synthesizing text, and identifying important ideas improves comprehension as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

K, VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that although comprehension strategy instruction is an important step in the right direction, it is not a panacea, and by itself is not enough to develop avid, proficient readers. It is also critical to provide explicit instruction in decoding, fluency, word analysis, text structures, and vocabulary for children learning to read as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

7,8, 9

Themes:

K, VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that many packaged programs limit teachers’ decision-making about their students, and there is a misconception that rigid adherence to a scripted, one-size-fits-all program leads to better performance and higher achievement in the guise of improved test scores as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains III,

Candidates will understand that kids who think well test well as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD .

Principles

1,2,5,6,9

Theme:

I

Domain 111

Candidates will understand that the vast majority of our students can and do think at high levels, but some do not have the ability to speak and write eloquently about that thinking. Language about thought can be taught. Our goal is to help them develop the language to define and describe their thinking as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that students should be able to “turn up or turn down the volume” on a strategy during reading. For example, when reading expository text, students may “turn up” determining importance and “turn down” inferences and visualization as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

5,8

Theme:

VP

Domain III

Candidates will understand that children should be provided lots of time to read and lots of time to talk about their reading.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP ,I,CC

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that blocks of time for independent reading in the classroom should be gradually increased as the year progresses as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,3,7,8,9

Theme:

VP

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that it is inappropriate and ineffective to “basalize” comprehension strategy instruction as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.
