One principle point that I have chosen from the Noddings article is “when a teacher asks a question in class and a student responds, she receives not just the “response” but the student” (Noddings, 2007, pg.373). I chose this point in the article because I found it to be very significant on many levels. The statement reflects on the student being comfortable with the teacher, as well as putting in the effort to participate in classroom discussion. One of the goals of an educator is for the student to engage in classroom activities. Regardless of the way the student responds to a question, they are willing to allow the teacher to take part in their opinion and demonstrate their involvement, which is what every educator should aim for, in my opinion. If the answer is incorrect or unclear, it is the educator’s responsibility to clarify in the most effective way possible, encouraging further engagement. According to Noddings, “What he says matters, whether it is right or wrong, and she probes gently for clarification, interpretation, contribution” (2017, pg.373). I believe that there is nothing more important than the student, in all aspects of the classroom. I also believe that student engagement shows effectiveness in teaching practices. One principal point that I have chosen from the Rury article is “Some 23 million American adults are functionally illiterate by the simplest tests of everyday reading, writing, and comprehension” (Rury, 2020). This point in the article stood out to me the most because it is simply a tragedy. Assuming that this data was collected focusing on adults, this means that 23 million Americans do not have the ability to complete simple task in their everyday life and will always need someone else present to aid them in reading or writing correspondence that is required in everyday life. This statistic implies that these Americans have not pursued and completed any level of education, and that is very disheartening. Education is a right of every individual and, regardless of the resources they have, everyone should, at he very least, possess basic reading, writing, and mathematical skills. Questions to my colleagues: 1. Why do you think there is such a large quantity of Americans that do not possess basic reading and writing skills? 2. How do you, or how will you, prevent a student from being discouraged when they have responded incorrectly to your question? 3. How can we, as educators, contribute in reducing the number of Americans who do not possess basic reading and writing skills? 4. Do you believe that a student will engage in classroom activities if they do not feel comfortable in the classroom? References Noddings, N. (2007). The one-caring as teacher. In R.
