[MOSAIC] Professionalism
Hello everyone, I have a side question for everyone. I know that at every school you can find at least one more more teachers that say come the end of the year that they are not going to have anything to do with teaching all summer. I am really curious as to how many teachers in your school, to your knowledge, actually take it upon themselves to do their own professional development. This can be in the form of reading, classes, or workshops. What percentage of teachers at your school actually do this?

Re: [MOSAIC] TRENDS and ISSUES In Literacy Pedagogy
I recommend Bring Words to Life by Isabel Beck over Marzano's. Her book not only gives the research but it provides things that you can use in your classroom immediately.

Re: [MOSAIC] reading tests
I also teach in California with most of my class being ELL's. What I have found is that most grasped the strategy work we did, they did not transfer the skills because they didn't understand the test language. With ELL's, you should show them how the question will be asked on the test, relate that question with your strategy work, and teach the test vocab (i.e. Words like passage, statement, evidence). I highly recommend using the STAR released test questions at cde.ca.gov. They can help to show those first year test takers what to expect. Hope that helps!

Re: [MOSAIC] Education Student Question
I used a strategy called "roll em". I assign my table groups a number . Then each person within each group gets numbered. Then I roll the dice. One dice represents the table number and the other dice represents the person within that group. So if I roll 2 dice and I roll and 5 and a 3. Then person 3 in group 5 must answer the question. My kids love it because they think its a mini game. It teaches them that anyone could be called on not just the typical ones that raise their hands. Also, I always do a think-pair-share or turn-and-talk right before this. In the beginning of the year, I emphasize that this turn-and-talk or think-pair-share time is really a good time to get the answer if they didn't really know if before. If they don't know the answer, they listen a lot more to their partner because they may be rolled. On Sun, Aug 10, 2008 at 10:34 AM, Lauren Ashley Hewitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hello everyone!
