I know this has probably been done here multiple times, but I want to start an issues in education thread and see what kinds of solutions we can come up with as a community.
I’ll start.
As teachers, we are expected to teach to certain standards that are grade-level specific. However, at least at the middle school I teach at, most students can not even read “on grade level”. The problem I am struggling with is this; how can we as teachers teach the content we are required and expected to teach, when we have students in our class who can not grasp the concepts due to reading capability? And how can we expect our students to grasp these concepts and perform when they do not have the capability (at least at the present time) to understand said concepts?
Ex: we must have seventh graders write an informative essay and back up their writing with facts and the content we give them to write about is deemed appropriate for seventh graders, but the students can only read on a fourth grade level.
