Today Kiri and I took part in a professional development session that looked at ways to develop an effective writing programme run by Sheena Cameron and Louise Dempsy. The powerful take away from today, aside from some great ideas to add to engage and scaffold our learners, was the rich conversations between Kiri and myself. As teachers who share a learning environment having shared PD helps to cement our shared understandings, and allows us to make aligned adaptations to our own language of instruction and the resources we use in our practice.

ReplyDeleteI attended this PD too. I enjoyed all the ideas particularly the "quick write ideas" Reinforced my belief we need to give our student time to think and plan.
