What+we+are+wondering

__Joan Ev and Joan Eg 8/10/10__ How do we help teachers who aren't comfortable not knowing the answer to a question? How could we (Reading Specialists and Media Specialist) in each school, work to develop a shared literacy vision and partnership.


 * teachers to come to and invite us as a resource team
 * We want not only to support each other but actually be partners in crime.

__Joan Ev, Nancy, Anne, Roberta 8/12/10 __ What is our, this group's goal? How we can intertwine this process in what teachers already do?(guided reading, science etc.) What will be the process of getting to everyone? What is it we want folks to know, learn, do? How do we define the difference between inquiry and research? How do we help teachers realize that all of curriculum can be covered through an inquiry method? What's the first piece to bite off? Is there some end goal that should be common no matter how a process is carried out? How are Inquiry circles different than Literature Circles? How do we ensure that we have enough material at appropriate reading levels to carry out an inquiry? Should we reconsider a WILS membership? Are there group, task force, and or committe structures that have effectivly worked through a similar initiative? (examples: k-12 acceleration, human growth and development) Identify the problem and address a solution with best practices. What's the best way for us to proceed? TSG? Retreat? What would it look like if we had a world class inquriy approach to teaching and learning in McFarland? What would teachers be doing ? What would students be doing? How would it be different from what is happening now?
