Day+6+Workshop

=**Welcome to the Day 6 Workshops!**=

Due to the inclement weather on Tuesday, December 10, 2013, the induction sessions scheduled for Tuesday, 12/10 and Thursday, 12/12 have been canceled and this website will be used for an online learning format. __**All information is to be completed and submitted no later than Friday, 12/20/13.**__

Please make use of the Day 6 Power Point below, as well as the Domain 2: The Classroom Environment portion of the Year 2 binder, which begins on page 27. In addition, you should have received via inter-office mail, copies of the Day 6 Sponge Activities, the Ticket-Out-the-Door, and the yellow packet entitled //An Effective Classroom//.


 * Day 6 Power Point:**


 * Please begin by reading slides 1-6 of the Power Point. Slide 6 asks you to pose any necessary questions regarding evidence from Domain 1: Planning and Preparation. You may do this by going to the comment tab (speech bubble icon) in the upper right corner and opening the discussion entitled, Domain 1: Planning and Preparation Review. Everyone is to look at this tab and offer responses to any posts made.
 * Continue to look at slides 7-11 as an introduction to Domain 2: The Classroom Environment. Slide 12 then asks you to self-assess this domain. You may do so using the provided Self-Assessment sheet. Please remember that a final self-assessment of Domain 2 must be included in your electronic portfolio.
 * As the power point tells you, our plan was to do a jigsaw activity in order to investigate the 5 components of Domain 2. Since we are not meeting in person, you will each need to investigate each of the 5 components on your own. Let's begin by taking a look at Component 2a: Creating an Environment of Respect and Rapport. You can do this by looking at slides 13-15, as well as by reading pages 28-31 of your booklet. Each of you should describe one piece of evidence you are thinking about including in the portfolio by using the discussion tab (speech bubble icon) in the upper right corner and opening the discussion entitled, Component 2a. In addition, please comment on at least one post. This is required of all participants.
 * Now, let's look at Component 2b: Establishing a Culture for Learning. You can do this by looking at slides 16&17, as well as by reading pages 32-35 of your booklet. Each of you should describe one piece of evidence you are considering including in the portfolio by using the discussion tab (speech bubble icon) in the upper right corner and opening the discussion entitled, Component 2b. In addition, please comment on at least one post. This is required of all participants.
 * Look at Component 2c: Managing Classroom Procedures. You can do this by looking at slides 18&19, as well as by reading pages 36-39 of your booklet. Each of you should describe one piece of evidence you are considering including in the portfolio by using the discussion tab (speech bubble icon) in the upper right corner and opening the discussion entitled, Component 2c. In addition, please comment on at least one post. This is required of all participants.
 * Look at Component 2d: Managing Student Behavior. You can do this by looking at slides 20&21, as well as by reading pages 40-43 of your booklet. Each of you should describe one piece of evidence you are considering including in the portfolio by using the discussion tab (speech bubble icon) in the upper right corner and opening the discussion entitled, Component 2d. In addition, please comment on at least one post. This is required of all participants.
 * Look at Component 2e: Organizing Physical Space. You can do this by looking at slides 22&23, as well as by reading pages 44-47 of your booklet. Each of you should describe one piece of evidence you are considering including in the portfolio by using the discussion tab (speech bubble icon) in the upper right corner and opening the discussion entitled, Component 2e. In addition, please comment on at least one post. This is required of all participants.
 * Slide 24 talks to you about your Next Steps. This is the usual reminder that tells you that you need to include at least one piece of evidence per component, as well as a Self-Assessment of Domain 2: The Classroom Environment in your portfolio. You should meet with your coordinator/supervisor between now and our Day 7 sessions in order for him/her to look over the Domain 2 section of your portfolio.
 * Now is the perfect time for you to review the yellow packet that you received in the inter-office mail. This packet contains various types of evidence that you might consider using and/or adapting. The final piece is entitled, //How Am I Doing?// These 17 questions should be completed and sent to my office by hand or electronically. These responses require some thought and time to write. I look forward to understanding your classroom environment better by these responses.
 * The final piece that you will need to submit is the //Ticket-Out-the Door,// which is entitled //Workshop "Countdown" Activity//. Please also submit this to my office via inter-office mail.

Please make certain to have your name on any materials that you are sending to my office.

I realize that this online format is not the optimal way to discuss and understand the content of Domain 2, so please do not hesitate to contact me outside of this forum with any questions or concerns that you might have.
