HARD-HITTING THOUGHTS
FROM CARING COLLEAGUES
“
I know that seems a little romantic, but one of the consistent complaints I
get from students is that they fail to understand why it is that they are learning something. That is why I
believe STEAM to be so important - it allows students to be enveloped by ideas, themes, and movements that can electrify their learning experience
.”Slide11
HARD-HITTING THOUGHTS
FROM CARING COLLEAGUES
“I
was particularly impressed with the presentation that broke essay writing into specific categories. If you recall, the teacher - a lady in white - grouped her students according to the areas where they had shown difficulties. For example, she identified those who had trouble with thesis construction, and differentiated their instruction accordingly. This type of data is useful as it allows teachers to focus their lessons

HARD-HITTING THOUGHTS
FROM CARING COLLEAGUES
“
I don't mean to suggest that there is no place for data. Through data, the English department has determined that limited vocabulary is the basis for most of our students' difficulties
.”Slide13
HARD-HITTING THOUGHTS
FROM CARING COLLEAGUES
“I think it would be very beneficial for the 10th graders especially to have Nick focus on many of these words for the Regents. I know that the 11th graders are going to be preparing for the English Regents, and are into their reading of Butterflies, so it may be harder to integrate this vocabulary focus into the 11th grade classes. I actually already had a long discussion with Craig about working some of these words into the 6th and 7th grade SS curriculums -- I haven't yet checked in with him about how/if he has been able to work it in
