Classroom Assessment
Classroom assessment is a simple method faculty can use to collect feedback, early and often, on how well their students are learning what they are being taught. The purpose of classroom assessment is to provide faculty and students with information and insights needed to improve teaching effectiveness and learning quality.
This eight-hour workshop has been tentatively scheduled for May 6, 13, 20, and 27, 2008 from 3 -5 pm. It will also be presented by Leslie Vickers and Stephanie Cavallero and credential renewal credit is available.
Classroom Management Workshop
Classroom Management
Have you ever felt like your classroom was out of control? Have you ever experienced a ‘problem’ student? Are you tired of constantly looking for new ways to motivate students? If so, this workshop is for you. Based upon Tools for Teaching by Fred Jones, the workshop will assist you to integrate the management of discipline, instruction, and motivation into a system that will allow you to reduce the stress of teaching by preventing most management headaches.
For over 30 years Dr. Jones has studied highly successful teachers - the "naturals" - to see how they make success look easy. During that time he has conducted extensive research and constant experimentation in classrooms. His objective has been to perfect methods of classroom management that are both powerful and affordable for the teacher. Successful teaching is neither "magic" nor is it a collection of handy hints - the proverbial "bag of tricks." Rather, successful teaching is built around a handful of core competencies that are expressed in everything the teacher does. Once mastered, they bring rapid relief from teacher exhaustion for one simple reason: Responsible students who have learned to manage themselves require much less management from the teacher.
This is an eight-hour workshop, so please plan to attend all sessions. Dr. Jones’s Tools for Teaching will be included for all workshop participants. Credential renewal credit is available.

Time: 3 -5 pm

Value of Time - updated
Last week I asked if anyone had seen (or had in their possession) the written piece about “time”. I received responses from: Lou Ann Gilhooly, Chris McGuire and Marie Mann. Thank you for participating, all three will receive Starbucks gift cards!
Marie filled in the sentences that needed help with…
If you want to know the difference a week makes, ask someone who has to weigh in for Weight Watchers.
If you want to know the difference a day makes, ask Colorado natives why they don’t mind the winters.
Chris wrote:
If you want to know the difference a decade makes, ask an eleven year old.
If you want to know the difference a week makes, ask someone who is ready to go on vacation
If you want to know the difference a day makes, ask someone who showed up for their job interview a day late.
Lou Ann had the original prose which reads:
To realize the value of ONE YEAR: Ask a student who has failed his exams.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH: Ask a mother who has given birth to a pre-mature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK: Ask an editor of a weekly.
To realize the value of ONE DAY: Ask a daily wage laborer.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR: Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE: Ask a person who has missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND: Ask a person who has survived an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLI-SECOND: Ask the person who has won a silver medal in Olympics.
To realize the value of ONE MICRO-SECOND: Ask NASA's Team of scientists.
Treasure every moment that you have! And remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present!!

"Emily Griffith loved to interact with foreign students. In a speech given in 1927, she commented, "I like to think of the foreigners who come to us. They need a friend as much as they need English." She recalled one Italian girl, a student at Opportunity School, who told her, "I never used to look at your moon. I always thought about the moon in Italy. Last summer for the first time...your moon was my moon; your stars were my stars."
