Dear [insert a name], After reading this book, Fall down 7 times get up 8 teaching kids to succeed by Debbie Silver. I immediately thought about you as a 2nd grade elementary teacher. I remember our last conversation we talked about how it seems as if it's hard to get students to connect with their learning experience. Although i’ve only read the first few chapters in this book it was filled with tons of valuable information. The book did a comparison between the lack of self motivation in students in today's times compared to students back in the day. As a future educator i found it very noteworthy, how they explain the importances to empower students instead of entitling them. An example that was given to show the difference between entitling and empowering is. Entitling is when explaining to students how they are the top in the class so their scores should be higher than the next student. Whereas , empowering is explain to the students that they've overcame many different obstacles and mastered the most challenging math concepts. So when it comes down to this test just relax and use your skills. It also mentioned the ZPD, also known as the Zone of Proximal Development. Developed by Lev Vygotsky. The ZPD is the rarefied area between a learner’s current unassisted performance level and the point too …show more content…

I had an ah!ha! moment when reading the introduction to How Children Succeed by Paul Tough. There was a lot of information in regards to the GED program and how it began. The purpose of the program made sense; however, I always wondered why those students who passed the test are less likely to go to college. The reasoning according to Heckman is, that they lacked important traits learned in high school for instance, “…an inclination to persist at a boring and often unrewarding task: the ability to delay gratification; tendency to follow through on a plan—also turned out to be valuable in college, in the workplace, an in life generally” (2012, pg. xix). Therefore, getting out of school sooner does not seem to work well because students are less likely to stick to the long years college may bring.

Kindergarten-second grade are important years in a child’s education because this is the time children are learning the most and learning quickly.
