Who was your favorite teacher in school? What qualities did that teacher have that made them your favorite?

Through all the curriculum, technology, IEPs, RTI, report cards, parent meetings, team meetings - all that matters is that you can be the best part of the child's day.

Take a few minutes to watch this inspiring Ted Talk about how YOU make a difference! If you've had one of those days, if you need a smile, this video will do it!

1. One-half of the class forms a loop facing out; the other half forms a loop facing in.

2. Inside-loop students each have a different question card, important word, interesting visual, or question about a text for their partner to answer, describe, or explain.

3. Inside-loop presents their card, outside-loop partner responds, then inside praises or prompts.

4. At the teacher’s signal, the outside circle rotates one person to the left.

5. Repeat steps 3-4 for as many rounds as the teacher determines appropriate.

6. Inside-loop gives outside-loop their question cards, and the process repeats with the inside-loop rotating this time.

7. Teacher sees and hears the students’ thinking and clarifies/verifies as appropriate

There are two ways to look at professional learning: just another thing on the calendar or a new way to make teaching easier. I hope you get as excited as I do about learning new techniques, strategies, and collaborating with others in our district.

There have been some changes to the original schedule. Please be sure to check the dates!

Let’s make math FUN. We can learn number sense and math fluency through play. This session does require registration in order to purchase items for this Make-and-Take session. Registration will close on October 14th

PK - 1st: Tuesday, November 8th --- 4:30 - 5:30

2nd - 3rd: Tuesday, November 15th --- 4:30 - 5:30

4th - 6th: Tuesday, November 29th --- 4:30 - 5:30

All session will be held at ASC in the Boardroom on the first floor. Registration is required so that I can purchase materials for these sessions.

This edWebinar will explore facilitation of fraction instruction in the classroom using the Five Practices: anticipating, monitoring, selecting, sequencing, and connecting. Along the way, we’ll look at:

• How performance tasks serve as the perfect complement to support the development within the fraction progressions
• Why developing solutions is as important as finding answers
• Specific tools teachers can use to foster conceptual understanding of fractions

September 20th 4:00 - 5:00

Registration

In this edWebinar, attendees will be introduced to strategies, tech tools, and resources that offer learners, especially English learners (ELs), optimal opportunities for language development and academic achievement. Participants will also learn how to effectively scaffold instruction for ELs and struggling learners in content-area classes while building on students’ strengths to maximize engagement.

September 28th 4:00 - 5:00

Your data standards and objects don't have to be a separate chapter in the book. Tie it with other topics by having a data question of the day, data question of the week, or building your own graph with student responses. You can tie in just about any other math topic and see the application through a data focus.

Some books are very direct in fact they are also teaching math concepts. However, this month we are focusing on children's books that can be TIED to math but aren't necessarily "math" books.
