Session A:   Feedback Everyone attends this session (6 different groups).  
These are assigned groups ... names will be posted so that you know where to go.  This is your chance to talk about what "worked" in Block and to give your suggestions for how the Block structure might be improved. We have gone through a lot together ... we value your positive and professional opinions.    

Read the descriptions for sessions B and C.  Decide your FIRST and SECOND choices.  Indicate your selections in the spaces provided below.   

Session B:  Work Sample  This session will allow you to discuss and ask questions
 about the Five Day Sequence/Teacher Work Sample.  
 You will get to share your work/ideas and see what other
 students prepared for this assignment.  You can discuss
 resources, methods, literature, strategies, frustrations, and
  "ah-ha's" that you experienced.   

 
Management This session provides you with opportunities to discuss 
all aspects of classroom management:  behavior issues,
  grouping for instruction, materials management, time 
constraints, etc. If you had great lesson plans and read 
alouds, but continually had trouble executing them to your
satisfaction, this would be a session where you could discuss ways to be more effective.

 
Integration Still wondering what all the hoopla over integration is about?  Then, this is the session for you!  Share with others your insights or struggles with this concept.  Get a clearer picture of the BIG picture regarding integration.

Session C:  Websites Looking for a place to share with the world your newfound
insights into teaching and learning with technology?  Did you
have a very positive or negative experience with developing 
your web pages?  This is where we can get together to talk
about what worked, what didn't work, and how it might be easier next time.  

 
Reading    You all have very diverse experiences in teaching reading.
Which methods, which literature, which students, etc. provide
us with many opportunities to share with others what worked,
what didn't, and what we learned in the process.  P.S.  Do you
know how to teach children to read?  

 
Interactive Kit Share your many glorious experiences in how you developed
your interactive learning kit, the purposes of your kit, discuss
your ideas with others and get some good ideas for future kits.
