I teach 7th grade. I used and still use the workshop approach, dove Donalyn Miller and Penny Kittle, but have you ever posted what has been the most helpful or influential to you in how you manage, maintain, assign, organize, etc. your classes? Do you have a general layout or monthly plan that you follow? I do 8-step process, AR reading, want to start a book club, but what are some of the most important/influential things you do with your kids? Any advice would be much appreciated! I love your blog, please keep posting and giving your wonderful tips and advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274008745714785555.post-32350288468583028132014-03-01T19:15:59.234-06:002014-03-01T19:15:59.234-06:00Glad you got so much out of your session!

I want to push your effort toward the comment you made: *This was also a reminder for me that I can point out and acknowledge what each student says during a class discussion verbally using the point and describe method, and then they are acknowledged and affirmed.... as that addresses many situations in the classroom that has an impact on many accepts of teaching. Also, you have great notes (duh) and a summary of your session. Well done! Thanks for sharing. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
