Weekly What's Up
Best Practices Smackdown <Friday>
What is a smackdown?
A smackdown is a brief (1 min or less) share out of a strategy, handout, resource, etc that can be used in your classroom. The idea is that everyone will have an opportunity to share and by the end of 30ish minutes we will all walk away with 30 new ideas. Some you will use, some you can save for next year, some you can ditch- completely up to you! You will note the name of the person that shared the strategy and follow up with them for more information of implementation, if necessary.
So what is my deliverable?
Please come to PD on Friday with a strategy, handout, resource, etc to share in 1 min or less.
