SSO, TAKE 2, AND CALL FOR REVIEWERS
SCHOLARS SPEAK OUT: ROBIN NEWTON, CROATAN HIGH SCHOOL, NORTH CAROLINA
I teach at a school that is a 30-minute drive from my house. I don’t mind the drive, though—I listen to audiobooks and podcasts and music that my colleagues would be horrified by. The drive in many places is scenic; I cross four bridges, and enjoy watching the sun rise (or set) over the waterways.
About three years ago, I noticed that I often passed the same vehicle going in the opposite direction both morning and evening. The car—a pearl white Porsche Panamera—caught my eye because I was perplexed: I can understand spending $150K on a 911 Turbo, but why spend $80K on a four-door sedan?

TAKE TWO:
The education and training of literacy teachers is often complex, involving field observations, classwork, and hands-on experience. As someone who supervises future teachers in their fieldwork placements, I often wonder about the efficacy of university instruction for teachers—what theoretical stances are they adopting in their own teaching? What practices are they learning from their university coursework and what practices are they adopting from the experienced mentor teachers with whom they are placed? How do they decide what to take forward into their own teaching? Janet E. McIntosh wrestles with similar questions in this month’s Take Two, an article that was originally published in 2010, titled Reader Response Journals: Novice Teachers Reflect on their Implementation Process. We invite JoLLE readers to take a second look at McIntosh’s article which focuses on how and why novice teachers implement what they learned about reader response journals in their University.
