Commnets
Strengths:
Responses: 12"I loved that this training was kindergarten specific. It made me feel more comfortable with using GLAD in my classroom because the strategies are appropriate for our early learners. "
"This was a perfect amount to cover, gave me very specific-to-kindergarten ideas, and then time to make plans/materials to actually implement in class. Excellent!"
"Provided teachers with handout and notes on early elementary GLAD strategies and step-by-step how to. The course itself was insight and very relatable to kindergarten students."
"Great information!"
"Content was appropriate and applicable. "
"Great GLAD strategies adapted for kinders!"
"Important, valuable information. I can use strategies learned right away. Everything applied to the grade level I teach. Was able to create and take things back with me to use in class. "
"Great way to see techniques we know/use at a level of understanding to reach our students now."
"It was awesome to have kinder specific strategies!"
"Opportunity for collaboration, make-and-take instructional planning"
"The strategies we learned are going to be great for teaching Kindergarten, loved the time to collaborate with our school team as well as teachers from around the district. Love having a shared google GLAD drive so we can share materials and ideas as putting GLAD materials on your own can be overwhelming. "
"The presenters were great!"
Suggestions:
Responses: 4"None. "
"I wish we could take a full day or two to prepare the GLAD materials and have it be a class so we could get sub coverage - with our grade level team - so we can make a nice complete scope and sequence for a unit of study. The after-school make and takes are hard to get to after a day of teaching, and you almost need to immerse yourself in the planning and creating of materials to get one complete unit finished. Can I write a grant proposal for this?"
"It would be helpful to have more than one printer!"
"As a bilingual teacher, would love to have shared drive/examples presented at training in SPANISH. Having to translate materials that are shared in English to Spanish is overwhelming. Thanks."
Questions:
Responses: 4"None! "
"? I wonder if I could write a grant proposal for our team to work together and complete our science units, complete with GLAD materials. ??"
"How might school administrator better support building integrated curricular units? How do we get more teachers to take advantage of these planning days, and contribute their ideas and efforts to building a viable curriculum for "Core" classes?"
"None"
