Tammy Elser (an amazing thinker from whom I have learned
a lot) just sent me information
about some trainings she’s offering this summer. They look amazing. I know I said
this list was on hiatus for the summer, but rules are made to be broken, right?
From Tammy:
For those currently using or soon to transition to block
scheduling, the power and potential of the extra time block allows is huge in
implementation of literacy practices, including investigations and research in
SS under the MCCS and 3C standards. I am doing a 15 hour special training
called Inspire Literacy Leadership with MBI that will demonstrate many, many
practices you could take straight into the classroom. We are even offering a
modest honoraria of $200 to participants. Info is in the link following. I
would love a contingent of history teachers as almost all my demonstrations are
history and IEFA integration ... Using lots of primary source
material. Go to https://goo.gl/ziZ1H5.
Also, we will be conducting a Writing To Learn session on August
21st, focused again on the literacy standards 5-12, including emphasis on
history and science standards. It is free and in Lewistown. https://goo.gl/SmU5ul
