  4. Read Handout: Variations on a Theme: All Kids Can Learn… Star one variation that best describes the beliefs that are operating in your school or schools you are working with. Stand by the chart with the variation of the school you starred. Discuss whether or not you agree with the belief (why or why not.) © 2008 Corwin Press. All rights reserved.

  5. Stand by the variation that best represents the school you would want to send your own child/grandchild/relative to. Discuss why you chose that school. Look at the lists of what the schools do when students do not learn and what teachers see as the causes for students not learning. Discuss your reactions to these lists: Does this lens on the school alter your choice? Why or why not? Do any of you want to change your selection? If so, move to another corner. © 2008 Corwin Press.
