Workshop teachers struggle with time—building in two teaching sessions, one for reading and another for writing. There is just too much to do, too many transitions, and very little integration of reading and writing. To compound the frustration, we find that our students don’t have nearly enough time to read and write independently. Enter the Literacy Studio, an alternative workshop model that combines reading and writing. It’s a way of teaching that makes sense to kids—with more time for choice, independent reading and writing, small group work, and conferring.

This slender volume presents some of the most basic Sanskrit terms relevant to the study and practice of yoga, with the hope that it will raise the level of literacy about this fascinating subject.

A poet and an actress who had done occasional workshops at the correctional facility, Peterson was ill prepared for a full-time stint teaching in the GED program for the incarcerated youths.

Teaching is becoming increasingly difficult. No, there's a better way to put it. Our precious profession is unpredictable. Each year is more challenging than the last. Students are more unhinged under the influence of influencers who subscribe to selfishness and irresponsibility. Parents, whether affluent or under the influence, have yet to develop a real sense of cooperation with the humans who agreed to build a solid academic foundation for their children. Yet, these are only some of the worst obstacles teachers must navigate.
