A Workshop About Reading Workshop
The Session 1 of Reading Workshop Workshop, received rave reviews! If you missed it, there is a powerpoint available that I can share with you. Session 2 was today and there were several CES teachers there that can share about Readers' Notebooks and Reading Logs. There is still time to sign up for the final 3 sessions. Clicking on the session will take you to Eduphoria to register. More information was included in Dr. Newell's Smore from January. Hope to see you at the next one!

EdCamp GCISD (Instructional Strategies)
Edcamp is a form of unconference designed specifically for teachers and their needs. What makes Edcamp an unconference? Unlike traditional conferences which have schedules set months in advance by the people running the conference, Edcamp has an agenda that’s created by the participants at the start of the event. Instead of one person standing in front of the room talking for an hour, people are encouraged to have discussions and hands-on sessions. Built on principles of connected and participatory learning, Edcamp strives to bring teachers together to talk about the things that matter most to them: their interests, passions, and questions. Teachers who attend Edcamp can choose to lead sessions on those things that matter, with an expectation that the people in the room will work together to build understanding by sharing their own knowledge and questions.
August 5 - 8:30-3:30
