During the last week of August, one my key roles come in to play - teaching teachers. Together with Ms. Mellgren, I plan, teach and bring together staff development for all of our staff and paraprofessionals. This time is important because teachers never stop learning and growing so we can offer the best education to Aspen students as possible.
What did we learn about this year? All kinds of things! My favorite topic was teaching and sharing about the literacy we bring to students. We talked about books we choose, how we work to bring every student what they need, watched dvds of master teachers and practiced how to assess students authentically. Every teacher learned something new or reinforced a skill to bring to their classroom.
Most importantly, the week brings together our teaching community, helping us all remember why we love working together at Aspen Academy.
Here's to a great year!
