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.
Focus Literacy Stations Learning Site: If you or an educator you know is working toward implementing Focus literacy stations to allow all students to access high quality instructional materials to strengthen literacy skills and further develop knowledge, this is an opportunity to join other educators in a live classroom around a common area of practice. This learning site on 05/09/24 places the question of “How do we implement stations to allow all students to access high quality instructional materials to strengthen literacy skills and further develop knowledge" within the context of diverse learners. The site will demonstrate one teacher's approach to answering this question while thinking through systems and structures to allow all students to engage in learning. After the observation, educators have a chance to think through and debrief with the host teacher around the hows and whys of their teaching practice with potential for follow up coaching sessions for an ALC/PDPs.
Time: One half school day (sub $ available)
Feedback: 99% recommended
Credits: Up to 12 PD hours or 1 ALC
Capacity: 10-15 per session
Mode: In-person
Resources: Learning Site Packet
THANK YOU for all the educators who attended our Learning Site at the Haynes Early Education Center in Roxbury on the topic “How do we implement literacy stations to allow for all students to access high quality instructional materials to strengthen literacy skills and further develop knowledge?” Our host teacher was Adina Thomas (Grade K2 @ Haynes) and debrief facilitator was Winsome Harding (Instructional Coach @ Haynes). We had 15 participants join from 9 different BPS schools/departments join this session.
After the session, 100% of participants (14 out of 14 exit ticket responses) said that they would recommend this session to a colleague. Additional comments from participants:
“I observed clear routines and expectations that were established for students which allowed them to work independently.”
“Something that I observed that might benefit my students is previewing the stations daily to allow the reinforcement of being successful and completing work.“
“Seeing lots of ideas to implement into making my stations better for myself and my students.”
