KIS PD Sessions September 9, 2015
Find your session description below.
Sessions are from 2:30-3:30 and locations will be announced later. You will have choice in future months, but this month we are dividing you by grade level/subject to make sure everyone is on the same page with these topics.
5th Grade ELA and Math
Two topics, 30 minutes each! Susan Meyer will lead all 5th grade teachers in conversation on the following topics:
- Effective Literacy Block Components
- Number Talks - The Basics
6th Grade Math
Stacy Giaccone and our other Math Foundations participants will share highlights from this summer's Math Foundations training, and share the basics on how to incorporate Number Talks into your daily math routine.
6th Grade ELA
Kim Richard will share the basics on how to use Newsela in the classroom. Time will be set aside to create accounts and view tutorials as needed. Any additional time can be spent discussing the Understanding by Design documents and effective ELA block components.
Encore
Encore will begin their book study discussion with Mrs. Wolford. Each participant should refer to the book handout and come prepared to participate through sharing and questioning.
EC
EC Resource should choose a 5th or 6th grade content session to attend. You might consider splitting yourselves among the groups.
Self-Contained EC will meet with Mrs. Frawley during this time.
