[Simtrainer-l] Contente Enhancement for First-Year Teachers

[Victoria Ricketts]

Hi Debby!

If you are able to do two professional developments close together,  I
would recommend doing the Framing routine first.  Even the most reluctant
teachers like that routine.  I have worked with many secondary teachers
over the years, and they are able to develop several frames for their
content area during a work session.  Then, when you provide UO professional
development,  these teachers use their frames when creating their
curriculum schedules.  When you are able to provide a third PD,  I
recommend Content Comparison.  Teachers find this routine easy to implement
as well.

Let me know if you have questions,  I welcome collaboration and have extra
time to help.

Vicki
