I don't believe that we as teachers or facilitators of learning can successfully present any content material to students at any level unless we ourselves have an understanding of what comprehension is and is not. That true understanding only is possibly when we as teachers provide our students with the tools, skills, strategies and motivation to arrive at the point where we and they can add new understanding to our and their schema so we and they can build upon previous skills across the curriculum and I firmly believe this process happens not because of any canned pacing guide, GLE's curriculum maps or fancy packaged programs. It happens because teachers care enough about their students to equip themselves in an ongoing process with the tools they need to meet the daily challenges called learning.
