Dr. Lilian Katz Quotes













"In both cooperative learning and project work. The teacher  encourages children to talk to one another. This helps them pay attention to each others efforts and ideas. Children take to these kinds  of exchanges very readily, but the teacher really needs to encourage this interaction"
 Dr. Lilian Katz


"Experts generally agree that taking all opportunities to read books and other material aloud to children is the best preparation for their learning to read. The pleasures of being read to are far more likely to strengthen a child's desire to learn to read than are repetitions of sounds, alphabet drills, and deciphering uninteresting words."
Dr. Lilian Katz

    I agree with all of the Lilian Katz quotes, but your first one about praise is the one I like the most. That one was something that was actually a more recent discovery to me (a few years ago). Something that I had never really thought about or every been trained to think about and it makes so much sense! I am very conscious of how I use praise with my students and my own child, just wish I knew more about it when my older child was little...

    Encouraging children to use their words is very powerful, this is a life skill. I used to be a Head Start teacher and this approach was used to build the children's skills and and develop confidence by speaking and expressing one's thoughts and feelings. This will help the children resolve future conflicts when they are older. I truly believe thatteachers need to encourage this kind of interaction.

      Hi Dulce, reading constantly to our children, encouraging them in whatever their doing, praising them all the time, and showing lots of love and support is what builds children's confidence to feel good about themselves after they have be successful at a task.

    I never thought of the importance of reading out loud to a child. Thanks for bringing that to my attention and I will make sure I do this form now on.

    I agree with Lilian Katz, assigning cooperative work does enforce that the children to work together.

the five stages of team development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning.

Bruce Tuckman introduced and identified the five stages of a team development. These steps are the forming stage, storming the stage, norming stage, performing stage, and adjourning stage in that chronological order. Furthermore, these steps usually apply universally to all teams/groups regardless of the team members’ demographics, purpose, location, goals, and cultures. In the forming stage, the team is just starting to come together and is characterized by anxiety and uncertainty. In storming, the group is characterized by considerable opposition and conflict. In the norming stage, the group's activities become a unified component. In the performing stage, there is usually high productivity, and the members are supportive, competent, supportive, and loyal. In the adjourning stage, the group needs to have fulfilled its goals; the group is to be closed on a positive note, but members usually feel uncertain and insecure about the future. The adjourning phase is characteristic
