Table+5

Table Five's Fantastic Ideas ﻿I read/I thought  "modeling" - as a classroom teacher, remember to model concepts more than once - kids (and teachers!) tend to forget things. . . . hard to model if there is not another teacher in the room - "turn and talk" with someone is hard to model if you're the only one who knows how to do it "conversation" - conversations need to be on topic in order to be beneficial; when people decide to not discuss the topic, how to bring them back on topic. Also, when there is dead silence - how to get the conversation going. "thinking takes time" - time we don't have (PSSAs are in March!). . . time is a consideration for PD, for classroom teachers, for curriculum Our Strengths and Weaknesses

- getting non-language arts teachers on board with RA concepts - managing time to think  - remembering to model frequently  + enthusiasm for area  + relationship with administration/teachers (even if they don't like RA) ~ keeping the lines of communication open in order to shove RA in wherever we can  + making the most of what little time we are given  Love your title table five:)  Table 1 agrees! - and thanks you for your comments! How will we use these ideas in our PD?

-Use the chart to debrief during PD sessions -Remember to go back to the big idea at the end of the period or the end of a PD session -Incorporating technology into PD - both during the workshop and to continue to conversations after the workshop
