[LIT] Rick Wormeli

[Shighley at aol.com]

I've seen Rick Wormeli twice, and he didn't strike me as Harry Wong-ish at all.  (I've seen Harry Wong a couple of times, too, and enjoyed that in different ways).  I didn't get the feel that Rick is teacher-centered.

You really should check out his books, and can start at the Stenhouse site to get an idea.
The first one, Meet Me in the Middle, is perhaps is more teacher-centered

and there's Day One and Beyond

>From Fair Isn't Always Equal, perhaps you get a better feel of how he's all about the students

I'm on some other listservs with Rick, and am very impressed.  Here's one more example from Education World
