I just went to a bunch of trainings offered through my state
and basically hated them all. First off, I know the person
is credible-she is the director of instruction for the
state. I really don't need someone to ramble off for hours
about "why" comprehension or vocabulary, etc are important.
Obviously if I am a teacher I know that! I went to these
workshops hoping for new ideas...maybe games, or centers that
I could create that would give me fresh ways to implement
these things in my classroom. If I were you I would focus
more on the hands-on part of these topics and not really at
all on the research...honestly it is a waste of our time.
Good Luck!
