(If you are new to vPQA and missed that discussion last winter, this post may seem obtuse, so if you want a powerful new strategy for next year you may have to read some of the posts in the vPQA category.)
Carol Hill just presented on vPQA in New Jersey a few days ago and sent me the file she used. I think it is excellent and so am sharing it here with the group with Carol’s permission:
vPQA Presentation June 2015
I really like it that Carol chose to present to those teachers in NJ on vPQA and not something else. Why?
Because vPQA is simpler for new teachers than stories. Its’ a gold mine of CI efficacy. A teacher who is new to CI instruction, with a little practice in circling, could do ANYTHING with this lesson. This lesson could last a month. Whenever I see another vPQA lesson added to our Haiku Deck collection of vPQA decks, I again appreciate what a great new strategy this is for us.
(Side note: Does anyone object to Haiku Deck? We have to make that decision before the year starts. My view is that its very limitations help us keep our vPQA presentations simpler and so I really like that format but if anyone doesn’t like it and wants to explore options I am open to that.*)
And it is official that Julie Soldner will be at iFLT to demo vPQA for us, and in only three weeks!

The above options/additions to Haiku Deck are from Carol, who explains:
…on the freeimages site there is a check license link that details how the image may be used and it looks like they are all free to be used for our purposes. So for those who do not want to be limited by Haiku Deck and are missing some of the features of PPT, this image source could be of help.
