Paula, Don't know if you are up for a visit all the way down to North Carolina but we have a middle school model you could visit. We have actually been working on this for 3 years now and searching for another middle school to visit ourselves. It is so rewarding to SEE something in practice. If you couldn't make the trip, I think it might be mutually rewarding to do some skype conferencing together. What do you think?

We are implementing the workshop model in our middle school and are facing culture shock as our students haven't grown up with these expectations and habits in place. It's getting better and certainly holds the promise of developing real literate individuals. Anyway - the point: I am a reading specialist who teaches 1 period of intervention and the remainder of my day is spent co-teaching, conferring, planning with my ELA teachers... I'm in a sort of coach, sort of specialist role. I would like to visit a school and shadow someone who has worked in this model and worked through the dilemmas of how not to be spread so thin that you are ineffective. I have books on the topic. I have 19 years of varied experience. I want to visit, follow, and pick the brain of someone who is functioning in this model in a MIDDLE SCHOOL and has figured it out. Thank you!
