YEA!
This isn’t just the sun rising – this is more like a super nova!!!!
Bravo!!
This is great news. What a sense of relief for you. I will keep copies of all the documents you mentioned in my room and at the ready for any “unschooled” observer who dares darken my door!
I love happy endings! It seems that we could use a separate category just for all the documents we need to reference? It is hard for me to remember where to find everything–or even to remember what I am looking for exactly. The admin checklist is even something my students like to look at (to see if I am doing what I am supposed t0)
Important point lori and we have to act on what you said.
So chill send what you have and anyone else same thing. Put them in an email to me – benslavic@yahoo.com – labeled “Administrator Education”. That’s the best label I could think of but it isn’t very good so suggest one and we can decide as a group on both a good (easy to find) label and then put it in the categories for easy reference.
Also lori I have a time stamped draft that I that I was going to publish later connected to this. So we can try to organize this all now. I will publish that draft, called “Representing the Method to Others”, here right now as a new blog post.
So to be clear, what I need from the group are the posts/comments that address this crucial topic. Think of it as a hammer we get to use when we need it. Then I need to make each one you send into a separate post (many were in comments fields). Then if we can decide on a proper category title we’ll have what we want.
Au boulot!
Yes, yes, and YES. Having all of our tools in one box is a fab idea and will be SUCH a big help. Thank you all so much for the support! I gave my little explanation yesterday to the immersion teachers (and my supervisor, heh, heh) and had our Arabic teacher give a mini-lesson. They listened skeptically as I explained the difference between language “learning” and language acquisition, raised their eyebrows and sniffed at the thought that I might only use two or three structures for an entire week, and asked snippy questions about how soon I start seeing output (WHY are people so focused on output???). But then they got the tables turned on them once the Arabic teacher started his lesson. It was TPRS condensed soup– we only had 20 minutes total for the explanation and presentation– but they were gesturing, using the “slow down” signal left and right, beginning to add some crazy details to the PQA…and by the end of about 10 minutes, and in spite of it being the end of a long, crazy day (full moon, anyone?) they were smiling and clapping and excited to be understanding. TPRS isn’t just super effective. It’s joy in a bottle!
Love this, Kate. Love it.
Bingo.
