Embedded Files
In a Learning Site, educators come together for a full day in a live classroom around a common area of practice (also can accommodate a ½ day model). Participants talk with the host teacher and set goals for their own classrooms. Participants who continue the learning through virtual follow-up sessions are also able to earn an academic ladder credit.

THANK YOU for all the educators that attended one of the Learning Sites at the Ellison Parks Early Education School or Mildred Avenue K-8 in Mattapan on the topic “How do we embed literacy development in K1 classrooms?” Our host teachers were Spencer Ross (K1 Inclusion @ Ellison Parks) and Min Wang (K1 @ Mildred Avenue). We had 23 participants join from 14 different BPS schools/departments join this session.
After the session, 100% of participants (21 out of 21 exit ticket responses) said that they would recommend this session to a colleague. Below is some of the feedback that came from the Learning Sites:
Very organized and welcoming. Everyone came open minded and willing to learn and share.
Speaking to other educators and hearing the thought process of the teacher we observed.
I liked that I was able to choose what lens to use during the observation that would be most helpful for me. It was helpful then to discuss it with others after the classroom time.
Here are some instructional changes that educators plan to bring back to their classrooms:
Reintroduction to “how it works” method in the center areas as a way of helping students get the best of our time
Trying out some of the specific scaffolds that the teacher used at centers
Introducing CVC and sight words in multi-sensory ways
