Reflective Pathway Listserv/Collegial Circle: A Tool to Transform the Landscape of the Literacy Classroom
Carol Varsalona & JoAnn Scott
In this age of accountability, providing staff with the tools to effect change in teaching and learning is fundamental to the goal of increasing student achievement in literacy. In an interactive workshop, participants will examine a unique form of professional development, the district listserv/collegial circle, which provides a forum for K-8th grade teachers, administrators, and staff developers to reflect and apply their professional learning to classroom instruction. Techniques to encourage, develop, and sustain district wide collaborative and reflective practices that impact teaching and learning are explored. Professional resources include Strategies That Work, Reading with Meaning, Literacy Work Stations and Practice with Purpose, Teaching Reading in Middle School, and Teaching Reading in Social Studies, Science, and Math.
