On Line Assignment

The two articles that I read were “Doing What Works” and “First Book and Townsend Press Launch 2007 Adolescent Readers Initiative.
In the article “Doing What Works” talks about a website that you as a teacher can use to see what practices work best or see if a practice that you are using tin the classroom works as well as you think. This impacted me as a future teacher because of the different sites that you can look at to see what works for the practices that you are teaching in the classroom. I feel that when you are a first year teacher you a little nervous what types of practices to use when teaching. This site that is discussed will give you a little more reassurance of the practices that you are going to be teaching.
The next article that I read is about an initiative that will help low income students with literacy skills. This initiative is being launched in Texas and will provide 520,000 free, new books to low- income schools and communities. These books will help improve the literacy skills of struggling students. More than 20,000 of the books will be made available to schools in Austin, Texas. This impacts me as a future teacher because if I am a teacher in a low- income school I will not be able to provide books or have the means of getting books to help improve the skills of my students. Coming from a small town myself I feel that I more likely teach in a small town and I know that resources are not the easiest to find. A program like this would benefit any teacher in any school setting but more in the low- income area schools.
