We have responded to the request by many of our teachers for further staff development in the area of writing, by providing a half-day writing conference during the staff development day on January 23rd. The sessions were developed based on recommendations by a committee of teachers. They are designed to help you further the implementation of writers' workshop in your classroom.
We have broken the day up into short sessions designed to give you a taste of what other teachers are doing in these areas. Most sessions will consist of a 10-15 minute mini-lesson, lead into an interactive discussion about the topics presented and end with share time.

This conference will conclude at noon, and the rest of the day will be yours for building purposes or grading, as previously planned.
Registration needs to be completed by 8:00 a.m., Saturday, Jan. 14th. |
