The sessions are intended to provide the opportunity for K-3 teachers to discuss their work and their questions with colleagues facing the same issues in the primary grades. These meetings were well attended last year and as a result, a template for a local system of assessment for reading, writing, and speaking was developed. The agenda for this session will be an informal discussion around literacy and math instructional techniques and assessment tools for young students. There is interest in developing an assessment system in mathematics throughout the course of the year. All teachers, teaching assistants and administrators are invited to participate.
Newcomers are welcome.
The Plummer-Motz School in Falmouth has offered to host the first in a series of conversations for upper elementary teachers. The primary focus of this first meeting will be to share current literacy instruction and assessment techniques and materials. Time will also be given to shaping a direction for the year around teachers needs and interests. All teachers, teaching assistants and administrators are welcome to attend. Commissioner of Education, Duke Albanese, will speak.
