Posting at In Practice

I've posted over at In Practice again (I know, it's been a long time!), this time regarding Professional Development for Teachers. Check it out!

I would love to see district in-service meetings run like TED Talks. Have you watched "The Future We Will Create: Inside the World of TED?" Do so, do so do so. The energy is incredible. "Books ARE technology." "Creativity is as important as literacy."

My brain is about ready to swoon.

I've posted over at In Practice again- this time about Kindergarten Roundup. I've included a list of topics I contemplate as I make observations of the preschool students that visit my classroom each spring as an introduction to what kindergarten is all about. If you're a new kindergarten teacher who is interested in what kinds of information to be gathering during preschool visits or if you're a parent who is enrolling your child at your school's upcoming Roundup and you'd like to know what we teachers are looking for or quickly assessing when we meet your child, check it out!

Take a look....
