Canadian author Roch Carrier was born on this day in 1933 in Sainte-Justine, Quebec. Sainte Justine is the setting for Carrier’s most famous story, “The Hockey Sweater.” Along with many other achievements and honours, Roch Carrier served as Canada’s National Librarian.
“As a teacher I am more influential as a model than my students will ever let on.”Read during SSR. Expect students to have a book, be silent, be respectful of others, and read. Model that. Show them that reading isn’t something we just talk about. Reading is something we really do.
“…teachers who grade papers or balance their checkbooks during SSR are also sending their students a powerful message–a message that time set aside to read isn’t important. It’s true that we often have to model a positive behavior ten, twenty, thirty times before we see it begin to take hold in adolescents. But it’s also true that if we model a bad behavior once, they learn it immediately. I remind myself of this prior to every SSR period– that as a teacher I am more influential as a model than my students will ever let on. If I talk the talk, I need to walk the walk.”
