I thought that the workshop about communicating and involving parents was okay. I was a bit disappointed because I was expecting to receive practical tips on how to approach and converse with parents. Something that was emphasized was that parents don't have to be in the classroom to volunteer to help, they can volunteer outside of the school also. It was not engaging, thus, boring.
The second workshop I went to was Special Education. Something that I took in was the difference between accomodation and modification. In class, it wasn't made clear, but the workshop helped me to understand it more. Other than that, it was sort of a review for me because I am currently enrolled in the spec ed class. The last workshop I had was the Literacy one, but I had heard that it wasn't interesting so I went to one where everyone told me it was awesome.
The awesome workshop that everybody raved about was the MATHEMATICS. I, too, enjoyed it very much. Similar to math class, I was able to see the many different ways people think and how they come up with solutions that are quite different from mine. There was a lot of think pair share, and more sharing. I think the way the speaker presented the material was engaging itself because her tone of voice, her enthusiasm towards math made everyone sitting on their edge of their seats. It was wonderful.
I'm all about getting free stuff!! So i'm glad that we received the bag of resources.
Does anybody know when teachers get discounts at STAPLES??
