Our schedule features a Sunday mid-afternoon arrival, welcome dinner and keynote, with classes running Monday through Wednesday. We'll spend each of our three days examining a single crucial topic in teaching: reading across the curriculum, literature circles, writing-reading connections.
|
 |
 |
We begin each day as a whole group, with an interactive keynote presentations featuring a major leader in the field. |
|
 |
Then we meet in grade level or job-alike groups, each one facilitated by a master teacher or national author, where we apply the morning's ideas to our own students and situations. |
|
 |
After lunch, we choose from a wide assortment of practical workshops, where everyone can join actively in demonstrations, discuss issues among peers, and plan specific applications to take back home. |
|
 |
Our meeting schedule of 8:30 AM-3:00 PM leaves plenty of time for extra team meetings, independent reading and writing, socializing, sightseeing, and enjoying the attractions of the Lake Geneva area. |
|
As always, the Walloon schedule is subject to change, revision and amendment, by agreement of the audience, as the week goes on!
