Refining
Classroom Practices
This custom-designed follow-up session is intended to strengthen teachers'
classroom facilitation skills, share classroom management strategies,
and answer questions.
Classroom
Modeling
Invite
a seasoned Picturing Writing or Image-Making teacher into your classroom
to model various stages of the process.
Developing
Integrated Curriculum Units
Developing
integrated curriculum units allows teachers to teach the content
they are required to teach in language arts, science, and social
studies in a manner that allows all learners to become engaged and
experience success. This follow-up training guides participants
through a process of creating their own Picturing Writing or Image-Making
unit specifically designed to meet the needs of their curriculum.
Developing
a School-Wide Integrated Curriculum Plan
To
develop a school-wide plan, participants will be led through a process
of interfacing the language arts requirements at each grade level
with the social studies and/or science curriculum. A progression
of art and writing skills will be designed that spans many grade
levels. With a school-wide plan in place, students have the opportunity
to develop skills in two languages through the grade levels and
across the curriculum.
