This presentation was given to classroom teachers to really think about what they have in their own classroom libraries and what books they'll need to help fully support implementation of the Units of Study for Reading.  They were asked to think about levels and genres to make sure every type of reader would feel successful.

This is a quick overview for teachers of the Units of Study for Writing structure (K-8). There is also reference to upcoming professional development surrounding the Units of Study for Writing. This was used for a 20 minute staff meeting presentation prior to implementing the Units of Study for Writing.

This is a monthly overview for Algebra 1 for semester 1 and semester 2 course.

This professional development was done in preparation for implementation of the Units of Study for Reading at St. Croix Central (K-8).  We met once a month to discuss pertinent chapters in A Guide to the Reading Workshop (Primary Grades, Intermediate Grades, Middle School Grades) by Lucy Calkins.  In order to build teacher knowledge and demonstrate parts of a reading workshop, we gave teachers time to read and time to share/collaborate.  The collaboration time gave us insight into how to tailor the Teachers College visit more to what we needed at St. Croix Central.
