To begin, please share with everyone your name, school district, title, background in education, and what you hope to accomplish by attending this online workshop.

ALSO: Please let me know if you'd like to have all of the tasks at once. In the survey for the last online class, a couple of people asked if that was a possibility. Everything is a possibility! If the majority of folks want everything at once, then I'll do it that way!

My name is Kelly Zimmerman. I teach have taught art at Lew-Port Middle School for a total of 10 years (i had a 3 year layoff in there). In addition I am the art club adviser and support staff for the Middle School WEB program which is a transition program for the 6th graders where 8th graders are leaders.

This is the start of my 16th year teaching. I have a multitude of experiences in several different grade levels over the years. I have a Bachelor and Master degree in Art Education from Buff State and I am a practicing artist in my spare time (what little I have).

By participating in this book study I hope to help maximize student engagement in my classroom and learn new way to hell facilitate learning.

Hi my name is Nicole Neri and I am a special education teacher at Lewiston- Porter in the Intermediate Education Center. My first two years full time I was a consultant teacher and this past year I co-taught in an integrated co-teaching program in 4th grade. I will be co-teaching again in 4th grade this coming school year. I am looking forward to reading this book and learning new strategies I can use in the classroom. Having the posts all at once would be great so we can work at our own pace. Thanks!

My name is Tracey Palmeri and I am entering my sixth year teaching at Wilson High School. I am the district ELA coordinator in the morning and I teach tenth grade English in the afternoon. I am also the senior class advisor. I love my job because it is so multifaceted and it really keeps me on my toes.

From this course I hope to learn some strategies to incorporate more student directed learning.

My name is Alyssa Michalak. I am working on my re-issuance of initial certification, so am not currently teaching. I have been away from the teaching profession for nearly 8 years, but prior to this I was a substitute in a few local districts. My certification was birth through sixth grade and I completed my Masters in Literacy.
From this course, I hope to take away some new teaching strategies and (re)familiarize myself with learning quests and how to implement them in the classroom.
I think posting the course outline at the start is a great idea. I think it’s helpful for people to get ahead if they have time. And also to prepare for what lies ahead.
