[Understand] wait time and Ellin

[Beverlee Paul]

Now I'm replying to my reply.  The other important thing about this demonstration with the Direct Instruction program I mentioned - the teachers in my district are still talking about it -- and that was ten months ago!  It not only mortified Jana, it mortified them.  They tell me that they felt fear (that they would be called on and the same thing happen to them), but even more shame (that they "felt" complicitous in the treatment even though they had no power over the events at all).  Talk about a powerful moment!  These teachers are all reliving it these months later and it still brings back raw feelings.  Contrast that with the power of Ellin's moment.  Those moments need to be shared to sustain us all!
 
So thank you again for your post.
