The SAN Script The Week of February 17 – 20
Here is where we are going to complete work on this year’s SIPsa. We have a focus on feedback that we have yet to work on as a staff. We will be planning another half-day PD session where we will be focussing on some of these Google extensions, especially Kaizena and Read and Write which is a great feedback tool we can all use. Take a look at the Thinglink by Krista Sarginson above – it will give you some ideas on other apps that you would like to focus on for the PD Day.
Please complete the form below – we especially need to know what time you want so we can book your supply.
Thanks
From our SIPsa:
An overall goal for staff this year will be to use digital technology more effectively. We will work on more effective use of iPads, chromebooks and iPods on a regular basis in the classroom.
Our school SEF, EQAO debriefing and professional observations indicate that students are not yet able to read, understand and apply strategies with a necessary degree of independence. We need to use guiding questions (such as “5 Productive Talk Moves”) to provoke thinking and encourage student engagement .
As a staff we will come to a common understanding of descriptive feedback and effective questioning techniques (e.g., Edugains, Ministry Monographs, Fountas & Pinnell’s “Teach, Prompt, Reinforce”, Opening Minds) Participate in World Spelling Day
