I'm hoping to find and interview an English teacher (grade 6-12) who has experience co-teaching, and a special educator or resource teacher with the same. The interview is for my MAT field experiences, and is not very long. All questions can be answered via email.
Please let me know if anyone can help! :)

So-called "genius" has a recipe...
A recipe you can also share with your students.

What to do to move forward?
The solution for some has been to do an end run around such assignments by having the students read the piece in class instead. That takes a lot of instructional time and leads to strategies like Round Robin Reading (RRR)—also called Popcorn Reading or Combat Reading.
RRR is not really a comprehension strategy; it’s a management tool. Kids keep quiet and listen because they might be called on next. Worrying that they might get called on next means they’re not paying attention to what is currently being read. If the teacher is obvious about who’ll read next, the students know when their turns are coming and are rehearsing while someone else is laboring away at her chunk of the text.
RRR is not a valid fluency strategy, either: With no chance to rehearse what they’re reading, poor oral readers won’t do well—and on top of that, they’re modeling poor reading for others. And, there’s the embarrassment factor. I can remember from my own schools days that some kids hated reading aloud because they anticipated stumbling, and the good readers hated it when the poor ones read for just that reason.
But after all these years, teachers still use RRR. Why? Because the kids are quiet, occupied, and the assignment gets read. In other words, it’s all about management. So okay. Round Robin Reading doesn’t promote fluency or comprehension, but you still have to lick the didn’t-read-the-assignment-before-class problem.

What I'd like to ask is, what do you find is the best way to start a new project with students aged 14-16. What way, incorporating VAK (Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic) learning styles, would be best to express the importance of this topic? Ensuring that they treat it with a degree of maturity.
Thank you,
Thomas

I Need Some Help With My SeniorProject
If you want students to think at higher levels, then provide opportunities for them to write across all the areas of the curriculum. here are three ways to use writing in your classroom...
I am curious as to whether an excerpt from a primary s source, is still primary or is counted as secondary. For example I am doing an assignment on Cuba, so would an excerpt from Fidel Castro's speech History will absolve me, count as a secondary or primary source?
The effects of sleep on learning and memory are surprising and impressive! (Click below to read the article.)
