As a teacher, what has been your biggest challenge to overcome? Perhaps it's been juggling planning and prep with a busy schedule. Maybe it's been working with the child in the classroom who never has homework, always needs to use the bathroom or run and errand, and never stops talking. It might even be working with difficult parents. In my situation, the obstacle I lose more sleep over and stress about is reaching what Donalyn Miller in The Book Whisperer calls, "The Dormant Reader". Yes, I have worked with all reader types throughout my teaching career, but this one is personal. This one is one of my own in my own home.
