As NCLB hovers over my district and many more schools (including mine) were placed on AYP we are looking for solutions. Some people are recommending that we look at a program called Making Meaning. I skimmed a lesson and thought it basalized comprehension instruction. Someone also said that Keene and Zimmermann were consulted. This is what I copied from the website:
The Making Meaning® program is based on current research findings including those of Michael Pressley, P. David Pearson, Nell Duke, and Isabel Beck. It also draws on portraits of successful teachers and classrooms, including those described by Lucy McCormick Calkins, Ellin Oliver Keene, and Susan Zimmermann. Making Meaning® is highly congruent with the findings of the National Reading Panel. This is not the same as created by Zimmerman and Keene. Does anyone know more about this program?
