Welcome Back!
For the past few months, teachers have invited me in to work with them in the following areas:
- integration of the iPads into their programs
- support with developing a comprehensive literacy program
- implementation of the Leveled Literacy Intervention Kits
- STEM planning
Through these co-teaching experiences, we have explored the Virtual Library, planned lessons with clear learning goals and success criteria, and selected rich mentor texts to provide a lens of social justice, equity and culturally relevant and responsive pedagogy.
I look forward to building on the work we've started last year. I've updated my list with the EiLs and LCTs for 2015/2016. If there are any changes with these positions, please let me know so I can update my records and send an introductory email.
Note: There is no official Grade 2 EiL role. However, if there is a teacher you have assigned as the primary teacher overseeing this initiative, please feel free to let me know.
