InService Day

So I've got about two minutes at an inservice and I don't have the time or space to grade anything, so I'll just jot down the ideas from the training (CRISS). First, obviously it makes sense for teachers to get together from time to time to talk about strategies for student learning. Second, it seems (I say seems) obvious that each school perild should be able to be broken down to the main idea - exactly what was learned today. Finally, the structure and organization of information should be made obvious (not merely intuitive) to students.

Of course, I also am reminded how much I despise forms, boxes, and other graphic organizers. But, on the whole it's somewhat enjoyable. Gotta go - back to work.
