thoughts on what to do if all teachers can't partcipate
- 2
people vs 10 people saying no
- another
way to do pd without physical presence (podcast, set of materials for indep.
Study)
- rc
probably won’t let us film it
- potential
for training new staff is better when an outside learning model has been
created
- have
to take the opportunity while you have it, we’ve seen it’s preliminary results
– it’s worth it
- everyone
really does want to do it
- the
negative feelings about not attending seem to come from ‘self-guilt’
- bring
them in as much as possible after the training with materials, come to the
staff if you need more information
- depending
on the staff person, their needs to relieve ‘self-guilt’ may be different
- equally
necessary for all staff to attend – teacher to lunch staff
- 6
people saying no is almost 25%, greater possibility of delivering inconsistent
messages
- what’s
the number!!!
- People
unable to attend could possibly have a learning partner to help facilitate them
getting the information from the training
- We
will always be catching someone up, let’s just do it
- We
need an intentional follow up with the staff who can’t attend
o It’s
not your fault that you couldn’t attend – we are here to support you!
Recommendation from SIT is move ahead with summer RC training for those who can participate. We need to be thoughtful about how to bring others up to speed in fall.
updates
- upcoming
continued staff rc pd
- parent
writing workshop was well received...large turnout at arbor meadows was
unconventional but productive!
- Promotional
video premier went really well, very meaningful for all participants – students and interns were very
pleased
- Plan
is to increase the amount of students next year – both 4th grades,
this year was a pilot
- These
kinds of activities will be best planned and executed by beginning as a
classroom level, succeeding, increasing to a grade level and succeeding again,
and just getting better!
- The
intimacy between student and intern grew great relationships...the students
really did feel empowered and showed their learning – how does this connect our
claims and evidence
Our focus is the literacy night
- what
do we think should happen at a family literacy night next year
- next
session will brainstorm it all, hilton karr and others will filter, bring back
and create the plan
o the
student needs a motivation to be there and then parents will be pressed to
attend, student will say, “we need to go to this”
o kid
focus makes it more meaningful
o student
involvement
o polish
it up
o build
a presentation that will script and provide a model for grade level teachers
can follow
