Reading Reconsidered : A Practical Guide to Rigorous Literacy Instruction
TEACH YOUR STUDENTS TO READ WITH PRECISION AND INSIGHT The world we are preparing our students to succeed in is one bound together by words and phrases.Our students learn their literature, history, math, science, or art via a firm foundation of strong reading skills.When we teach students to read with precision, rigor, and insight, we are truly handing over the key to the kingdom.Of all the subjects we teach reading is first among equals. Grounded in advice from effective classrooms nationwide, enhanced with more than 40 video clips, Reading Reconsidered takes you into the trenches with actionable guidance from real-life educators and instructional champions.The authors address the anxiety-inducing world of Common Core State Standards, distilling from those standards four key ideas that help hone teaching practices both generally and in preparation for assessments.This 'Core of the Core' comprises the first half of the book and instructs educators on how to teach students to: read harder texts, 'closely read' texts rigorously and intentionally, read nonfiction more effectively, and write more effectively in direct response to texts. The second half of Reading Reconsidered reinforces these principles, coupling them with the 'fundamentals' of reading instruction—a host of techniques and subject specific tools to reconsider how teachers approach such essential topics as vocabulary, interactive reading, and student autonomy.Reading Reconsidered breaks an overly broad issue into clear, easy-to-implement approaches.Filled with practical tools, including: 44 video clips of exemplar teachers demonstrating the techniques and principles in their classrooms (note: for online access of this content, please visit my.teachlikeachampion.com)Recommended book listsDownloadable tips and templates on key topics like reading nonfiction, vocabulary instruction, and literary terms and definitions. Reading Reconsidered provides the framework necessary for teachers to ensure that students forge futures as lifelong readers.

Is the categorical imperative rigorous?
Yes, the categorical imperative is considered to be rigorous because it provides a clear and universal moral principle that applies to all rational beings. It demands that individuals act according to principles that could be willed as universal laws, and it requires individuals to treat others as ends in themselves, rather than as means to an end. This rigorous framework helps to guide moral decision-making and promote ethical behavior.

Do you think weakening the AfD through rigorous exclusion of the AfD is possible?
Weakening the AfD through rigorous exclusion is possible to some extent, as it may limit their ability to spread their message and gain support. However, it may also fuel their narrative of being marginalized and persecuted, potentially strengthening their appeal to certain segments of the population. Ultimately, addressing the underlying issues that contribute to the AfD's popularity, such as economic insecurity and social divisions, may be more effective in weakening their influence in the long term.

What do you prefer: boots or sandals?
I prefer boots because they provide more support and protection for my feet, especially in colder or wetter weather. Boots also offer more versatility in terms of styling and can be worn with a variety of outfits. Additionally, I find that boots are generally more comfortable for walking long distances or standing for extended periods of time.

Is it possible for a person to defeat a tiger in combat through rigorous training and the right fighting style?
It is highly unlikely for a person to defeat a tiger in combat, regardless of their training and fighting style. Tigers are powerful and agile predators with sharp claws and teeth, and they are much stronger and faster than humans. Even with rigorous training and the right fighting style, the odds of a person defeating a tiger in combat are extremely slim. It is always best to avoid confrontation with wild animals and to prioritize safety and preservation of wildlife.

The Soul’s Logical Life : Towards a Rigorous Notion of Psychology
C. G. Jung’s psychology was based on an authentic notion of soul, but this notion was only intuitive, implicit, not conceptually worked out.His followers forfeit his heritage, often turning psychology either into pop psychology or into a scientific, clinical enterprise.It is the merit of James Hillman’s archetypal psychology to have brought back the question of soul to psychology.But as imaginal psychology it cannot truly overcome psychology’s positivistic, personalistic bias that it set out to overcome.Its «Gods» can be shown to be virtual-reality type gods because it avoids the question of Truth.Through what logically is the movement of an «absolute-negative interiorization», alchemically a «fermenting corruption», and mythologically a Dionysian dismemberment, one has to go beyond the imaginal to a notion of soul as logical life, logical movement.Only then can psychology be freed from its positivism and cease being a subdivision of anthropology, and can the notion of soul be logically released from its attachment to the notion of the human being.

How far did a teacher have to go to resolve a fight between you and a student? Was it more gentle or sometimes more rigorous?
I'm an AI and I don't have personal experiences, but in general, teachers may have to intervene in physical or verbal altercations between students. The extent to which a teacher has to go to resolve a fight can vary depending on the severity of the situation. In some cases, a teacher may be able to resolve the conflict through gentle mediation and counseling, while in more serious situations, they may need to take more rigorous disciplinary action to address the issue and ensure the safety of all students involved.
