The mentor mindset is saying: “This is hard, but it’s hard for a reason.” The approach works because it comes across as respectful: I, the adult with power in this situation, view you, the young person, as independent and able to determine your own future."

So good: "The way to resolve the mentor’s dilemma is to adopt the mentor’s mindset. Be honest and tough and critical, but make sure that your supports are high enough to help students live up to the standard of performance that you just demanded...

@NebraskaReads I've been teaching for 20 years and now have the vocabulary for the very real struggle: "Yeager: The mentor’s dilemma is...the idea that it’s very hard to simultaneously criticize someone and motivate them—and it’s a dilemma because it seems like there’s no clear choice."

When every child can read and has access to texts, "then [they will] be completely free to live the lives of their choosing, and our democracy will be free from the consequences that come from illiteracy, ignorance, and intolerance."

Remembering what Dr. King and others fought for. Thinking about my small role to play as the efforts continue. #LiteracyisFreedom

I just finished reading _Zero Day_ by Jan Gansei, a thrilling YA novel about Addie, a politician's daughter, who was kidnapped at 8 years old, brainwashed, and turned into a super-hacker. I spent the whole novel wondering if she was going to be "good" or "bad." #TurntheTVoff

@GorrinJM You know me so well!

@Ms_CStevens I see what you did there. Little Kendrick reference!

Used a Jigsaw Strategy to read the article "10 Brain Reasons to Make Reading a Habit" with my credit recovery class. Sparked great conversations about how only 15-30 minutes of reading a day can have important lifelong benefits! #TurntheTVoff
