Week 12, Exploring Instructional Models

This week we are focusing on the meaning of classroom centers as an instructional model, as well as others that are presented in Chapter 10 of Tompkins. When reading Tompkins try to envision what a Guided Reading group might look like in your future classroom, would you use this instructional method or do you fear that it would challenge your classroom management style? How do you think working teachers make their decisions about instructional models and how do you envision yourself choosing a model?

For those of us who are at Bath, enjoy your second "Spring Break" and as always, happy reading and posting.
