__ == In the Lakeview School District, our vision is to "create life-long readers who develop depth, stamina and passion for reading. Our mission is to get ALL students reading because we believe every student wants to read, if we let them. Our central believe is that when students are given the right book, time to read, and regular responses to their thinking they will become passionate readers. We understand that “choice” plays a key role in their development as a reader. We will challenge our students to read books with “increasing text complexity” that begins with books they enjoy. Once they’re reading, together we can reach for the challenging literature we want them to know." ==

Adapted from Penny Kittle, "Book Love"

Great teachers possess a capacity for connectedness.....the connections made by great teachers are held not in their methods, but in their hearts-meaning heart in its ancient sense, as the place where intellect and emotion and will converge in the human self." //Courage to Teach//, Parker Palmer

====**“We must remember that no matter the state standard or national goal for our teaching, the horizons we lead our students toward are neither nearby nor narrow. We teach for no less than to offer our children ways to understand and make meaning of the world; we offer them skills and strategies for learning and for becoming more powerful.”**==== -Lucy Calkins
