Hello Bonnita, All,

Thanks to Bonnita and Jeff for reminding us of the many ways we can use
the PD List in our work.

 

Reflecting on our own learning styles and how to facilitate that
reflection can be a lot of fun. I'm wondering, would anyone like to
share what they have done to facilitate teacher reflection on learning
styles/multiple intelligences? Or, what are some interesting approaches
you've seen?

 

Thanks, Jackie

Subject: [ProfessionalDevelopment 1890] Facilitator Needed for CA ESL
Retreat

 

Hello All:  The Oakland Adult and Career Education (OACE) ESL Program is
in urgent need of a facilitator who could present a guided, mindful
activity for a retreat the ESL Program is having in beautiful Tamales
Bay on the Pacific Ocean.  This retreat will beheld at the Marconi
Center, which is run by the National Park Service.  It will be held on
Friday evening Februaruy 23 and Saturday, February 24th.  The
Professional Development, Program Planning Committee has decided on
"Look In, Listen and Learn:  Teach with Reflection" as a theme for the
retreat.  The "Look In" segment would be a mindful activity focusing the
individual's attention on their unique learning style (to be used
interchangeably with multiple intelleigence); this introduction to
reflection sets the tone for the retreat and will be presented on Friday
evening (7 p.m. to 10 p.m.).  Would it be possible to put out a call on
your list for someone to facilitate an activity such as this?  We ask
that respondants include their fee for service schedule with their
response.   

 

We are also interested in any suggestions for a mindful activity that we
as a staff could present to our PD group.  For example, is there an
activity that could be used to guide individuals to look inside and
access their unique learning style/intllegence?  We anticipate this will
not be a paper and pencil activity, but an "eyes closed" (if you wish)
experience that could possibly be followed by a written exercise or
sharing with a partner or group.  We are more interested in the
experience than in recording the experience.

 

Thanks for your consideration in this matter.
