Wed Oct 7th Word Work Group Meeting

Welcome back to our group PD focus on Word Work/Word Study

This Wednesday (Oct 7th) self selected groups will reconvene to discuss the articles and resources they have accessed.  Please meet from 2:35 - 3:35 in the same spot in the school as you did last Wednesday, unless another spot is/was agreed upon.

The full hour will be given to group discussion and critical thought.  There will then be more than a month (Nov 25) before the group meets formally again to present how the research can inform our practices at CA. During this meeting (Oct 7th) it will be important to take notes on discussion points and begin to narrow down and summarize the research.

Reminders:
  • This is meant to be a quick quest for research 
  • Focus is on what might be considered "typical" for learning/classroom practices not yet focused on ESOL or children requiring additional learning support
  • Focus is still on research,  rather than teaching practices or program (although link may be clear)
Please access the slide presentation from last Wednesday for reminders of the process or instructions. 

Please also access your group folder for a place to access research and collect your ideas
