Chapter One: Pat Jackson

"The Elephant in the Room" reminds us that we as educators need to teach students in a way that they want to read and become lifelong readers. Too often we mandate what students are to read to achieve a purpose for us--not them. We all know this, but we continue to go down this road. Why??? Simply put, when students want to read they expand their minds forever.

On the issue of testing, I think tests should be designed in a way that students learn from the test and are required to think and write rather than multiple guess.
