Grades: 7-12 Teaching Foreign Language


Subject: Teacher best practice, using video conferencing to teach foreign language from HS to MS

Please join the TCHESC on December 4th at 3:15 for an interactive Best
Practice Video Conference covering the method and mechanics of offering
a foreign language from a High School to a Middle School. Dover High has
been teaching Spanish 1 to 8th grade students for 3 years using video
conferencing. This has enabled the students to either take a second
language or choose an advanced Spanish study during Junior or Senior
year. Join us as the teachers and school officials explain how this
works and what benefits the district has noticed as a result of this
teaching method. The cost is $60 for non-consortium members and there is
no charge for TEC-LINK member schools. Please register by visiting
http://www.blogger.com/www.tchesc.org and clicking on VC scheduler. Contact hours are available
for this session.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!

Reading Maps! Itineraries for Guiding and Challenging Gifted Readers (Part I)


Please see below for an upcoming Professional Development via video conference. If you are interested in attending, please email me to reserve your spot.
Cost: $60.00 per site, Free to MVESC/APLCO members
CEU’s available to those who attend
Date: November 6, 2007 (3:45-4:45 PM)
Intended Audience: Teachers
Topic: Reading Maps! Itineraries for Guiding and Challenging Gifted Readers (Part I)
Description:
Gifted readers require more than placement in high ability reading groups. Gifted readers must experience literature that stimulates both intellectual and social-emotional needs. This video conference session introduces the “Reading Map” process and reading strategies which promote critical/reflective thinking. Participants who attend will receive recommended book lists to guide students’ reading journeys. This is a two-part professional development series that can be viewed alone, or in conjunction with segment II. Segment II will go beyond identification and plunge into using various program options and differentiated instruction.
Presenter: Sharon Graves, Gifted Consultant, MVESC
