10-seocnd review: As teachers we need to recognize that our students have different values from ours. But this change in looking at our students has to begin in teacher education classes in which students have different values from teacher educators. How is that to be accomplished? By engaging in critical literacy. See an example in my next blog.

Comment: In other words, teacher educators need to model how to deal with student differences and how to deal with them in a positive way. The method suggested is engaging in critical literacy. In the following blog, I give an example from the article. I think teacher educators need to model most of what occurs in their instruction. If teacher educators are going tell students to use the directed reading assignment, then the teacher educators need to use the directed reading assignment with their students. RayS.
