Holly Marshall a.k.a "Consistency"
While searching for a clean water source near your base camp, not only did you find just that, but you also found a piece of evidence suggesting that there was once a civilization in this foreign land. Scrawled upon a flat rock, you've found what seems to be a URL scribed into the soft stone. Using the laptop you've brought along on your journey, you type it in to see what you find. It's a clue into the hidden mysteries of "consistency in the classroom."

Here is your task: Read the somewhat lengthy article below. While reading it, consider the following:
 * What are the various facets of consistency?
 * Do you think consistency is something that is relevant in the classroom today?
 * Have you had a teacher before who has demonstrated certain traits that the author lists in the article?

After/While reading the article, discuss these pivotal points with your partner(s).

After perusing that article, if time permits, take a look at the other link found below. Read the opening paragraph of the resource provided. Although the content specifically refers to elementary classrooms, it still offers a lot of great insight into how teachers must be consistent while in the classroom. After reading the introduction, discuss briefly with your partner(s) on the ideas that the author gives. How can the ideals be translated into a middle or high school classroom? How relevant do you think consistency is while in the classroom?
