Literacy+Training-ELLCO

 Literacy Training: SH: Might also be a good idea to have many resources for literacy available to look at in the training room. We have a lot of literacy books as well as ideas for integrating literacy for example the cardboard books, baggie books and much much more. When Sarah and I have done literacy trainings, we have completely immersed the participants in ideas all over the room. I know we will have Michelle's room but I think it would still be useful, plus we have all the stuff, it's just a matter of getting it out and set up. Also any handouts we can give them to take with ideas would also be useful.

To Do: Tereas-Prompting Flyer Okay the flyer went out last week online and we should be able to send the ODE request for approval of PD tommorow upon PP completion. Tommorow we can look over the PP slides, make edits, add pictures and flow. The following bullets quickly summarizes a possible delivery to the day based on the content of the slides prepared to this point. Please take notice that I chose green for this to symbolize that this is my first time creating a pd powerpoint! T---Teresa.
 * Start with slides of ELLCO that speaks to the why's and what's and explanation of why they might be selected.


 * Explain the classroom observation components and the rating scale (slide reference) Provide a handout of 14 components


 * Move to the self-reflection tookit where we will explain its purpose and then chunk into sections of functional environment where we will go look at Michelle's classroom for organization, content, and technology. We will point out what evidence observers will be looking for as they rate the functional environment.


 * We'll go back to the pd session room and have each participant reflect on their own envirnoment and fill in that portion of the reflection tool. We will continue in this pattern 3 more times back and forth allowing them to interact in the classroom as we are providing evidence of a 4 or 5 rating and then allowing time for them to complete their self-reflection portion of their own environment.


 * Then we should provide as many strong literacy ideas as listed on the slides (I got many of the ideas from your previous literacy pd) Maybe we can provide some examples of each and have a give away (writing caddies)?

> ODE Approved- > Purpose: Prepare the audience to understand what an ELLCO observation will look like, understand the ELLCO observer's perpsepctive, take time to reflect on the reflection tool, their enviorment, and then use Michelle's classroom as a examplar. > > Handout: > ELLCO Handout > Powerpoitn > Agenda > > > Part 1: When you walk into this room (partner discussion-we select partners) what stands out to make this room a quailty litearcy enviorment. Large group debriefing. > > Current Context as it relats to ELLCO
 * Following that we will emphasize the learning community for literacy explaining their roles, as well as reassure them that this learning community will be in place to support them throughout their efforts now and on a day to day basis as teachers and we are a part of each community of learners.
 * Why is ELLCO occuring
 * What is ELLCO-handout for
 * Why might I be selected

For each reflection item: Explain the item Give them time to self reflect on their enviorment Give examples, strategies, ect. What would we look for as observers? Have them reflect on their ratings??? Have them share their ideas

How can we group the reflection items so that they get the content and then go back into the classroom?
