It's been a long time since I was in elementary school.
But I can remember it like it was yesterday. I wasn't the cutest, skinniest or best-dressed girl. I wasn't even a popular girl, but I had an advantage; I could sing like "nobody's business," and my teachers loved that about me. As a result, I think I was spared the bullying that could've come from classmates due to my lack of the aforementioned qualities.
Times were tough in the late '60s. Maybe not as bad as what some call the "mean-girl phenom," experienced now by many, but it was there. So I think the fact that my classmates knew how much my teachers liked me may have spared me from their belittling. Not true for all girls in my class. I'll never forget one who was not spared the pain, the hurt and the bullying. I did my best to defend her when I could.

Creating Thoughtful Readers Through Habits of Mind. Edited by Arthur L. Costa and Bena Kallick How often have you heard comments of this nature or even said them yourself? People of all ages say they want to change some aspect of their lifestyle but have trouble accomplishing the task. Why is it so hard to alter behaviors? Cultivating productive mental habits is a lifelong process.
Societal and economic changes as well as disheartening reading scores on standardized tests have caused schools to broadly emphasize literacy. Educators lament that their students lack the requisite knowledge, skills, and mental dispositions to read and comprehend text. A common cure for attacking literacy deficiencies is the use of appropriate strategies. These intellectual processes or dispositions, frequently referred to as Habits of Mind, are emphasized in Art Costa's foreword for Strategic Reading in the Content Areas: Practical Applications for Creating a Thinking Environment (Billmeyer, 2004).
What Is a Strategic Reader? Figure 12.1. Figure 12.2. Kids Speak Out on Student Engagement. A while back, I was asked, "What engages students? " Sure, I could respond, sharing anecdotes about what I believed to be engaging, but I thought it would be so much better to lob that question to my own eighth graders. The responses I received from all 220 of them seemed to fall under 10 categories, representing reoccuring themes that appeared again and again. So, from the mouths of babes, here are my students' answers to the question: "What engages students?
" 1. Working with their peers "Middle-school students are growing learners who require and want interaction with other people to fully attain their potential.

"I believe that it all boils down to relationships. 4. Extra Zzz's in Morning May Help Teens Stay Alert in Class. MONDAY, Jan. 20, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Delaying the morning school bell might help teens avoid sleep deprivation, according to a new study. Later school start times appear to improve teens' sleep and reduce their daytime sleepiness. For the study, investigators assessed boarding students at an independent high school before and after their school start time was changed from 8 a.m. to 8:25 a.m. during the winter term. The later start time was associated with a 29-minute increase in the students' amount of sleep on school nights, and the proportion who got eight or more hours of sleep on a school night increased from 18 percent to 44 percent, the study found.
Younger students and those who slept less at the start of the study were most likely to benefit from the later school start time, according to the results published in the January issue of the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics.
