Day 3 of Training

Today I really enjoyed getting to more about the other Reading Buddies as we introduced each other to the group. We all seem to have very diverse backgrounds and experiences and I am eager to learn more about and from everyone! I found the "Reading Wars" debate to be interesting and I am very glad that we are not taking a side, but basing instruction on the individual needs of each of the students we will be working with. I was also glad that the time was taken to discuss and look at the rubric for the ECLAS, as I have heard much about it but never actually known what the criteria were for each level. I have learned so much each day of training and am really enjoying it; however, I am very anxious to get into the schools and meet the students I will be working with!!!
