Upon returning from our month in Africa Sara and I had exactly one day to collect out thoughts and then we were off to New York State Reading and their annual conference.
Sara and I each did a poem to end the awards ceremony one evening and also presented on our Writing Clinics as well as public speaking. We met some hard working teachers and organizers plus we got the first look at our new teacher resource published by Corwin.
We’re really enthused about this new resource (it’s really a whole lot more than a book.) Every time, often after we give a presentation at a conference we are asked for our PowerPoint slides. Well the slides we use to present are not comprehensive enough to just be used as is. We use them as mnemonic devices to keep u on track while we speak.
So, what we have done is recreate 20 of our lessons in PowerPoint format along with a lesson outline so that teachers can use our slides as they teach the lessons to their classes.
We’re giving away three copies and an hour long Skype conference over at our Facebook page – check it out.
So, we’ve only been home for a couple weeks but we hit the ground running. Next stop Chicago and then at the end of the month – we return to Kazakhstan!
We’ll keep you updated.
I appreciate where the important issues raised by the audience.And the content of your blog, innovative and very interesting, I like it very much want to see the new job the next time you come!
