I just checked out the MTS schedule and I see that they have two different ones with her in December: one on literacy and numeracy and one on aboriginal education. Now that I think of it, I remember my principal mentioning that I would be attending a session on UDL but I have no idea if it is one of these or something completely different; I will have to ask. I do know that our division is having her come out in the spring time to speak so that will be exciting!<br /><br />I am actually working on a post about the start of school and how to start up this year and I am going to include some RD info in it if you want to check it out. Either way, I am excited to know that I have another teacher working through this with me :)Mrs Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942930206275684025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448232018987603716.post-37800128501006456032014-08-01T18:40:53.742-07:002014-08-01T18:40:53.742-07:00I would love to collaborate on it with you!

It was interesting to see how she could make connections between curriculum and students in a way many people would think impossible (i.e. a student working on subtraction skills while participating in a Grade 12 Pre-Calc project)! Last year MTS offered a two-day UDL seminar in October, I think they might be again this year. If you could make that work, I would totally recommend it! <br /><br />Dawn<br /><b><a href="http://applesowlsmochas.blogspot.ca" rel="nofollow">Apples, Owls, and Peppermint Mochas</a></b>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712765734204602977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448232018987603716.post-78894289280792754492014-08-01T10:17:55.157-07:002014-08-01T10:17:55.157-07:00Dawn, I'm jealous that you got to take a class...Dawn, I'm jealous that you got to take a class with Dr. Katz! She is actually offering a summer class right now that I seriously contemplated taking, but I couldn't make the logistics work with being 4 hours from the city.<br /><br />I am wanting to spend more time addressing multiple intelligences and utilizing the RD program as I have a very diverse group for 4 classes this upcoming year (I only had them for 1 class last year). They sometimes have difficulty relating to one another and there can be some bullying because of it. Maybe we can share results if you try it with your group too!Mrs Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942930206275684025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448232018987603716.post-87967492758715852952014-08-01T10:13:26.985-07:002014-08-01T10:13:26.985-07:00Michele, thanks for commenting!

I too connected with the Seven Principles; I feel like they are something that should be incorporated at a school level, not just a classroom level. Think of how well a school could function if admin, teachers, and students, worked around these principles! The book has a lot of good information, I definitely recommend that you pick it up if you can (there is a link to the amazon purchase page in my reference for the image).<br /><br />P.S. my next summary is posted now as well :)Mrs Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942930206275684025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448232018987603716.post-15636407775306433402014-07-31T18:20:50.388-07:002014-07-31T18:20:50.388-07:00I was lucky enough to take a class with Jen this y...I was lucky enough to take a class with Jen this year at the U of M and hear her talk about the RD program. I, too, have had students fill out multiple intelligence surveys, etc., but have never really done anything with them. I like the idea of talking about the different ways that we are "smart" and giving those students who don't generally succeed in traditional schooling a feeling of worth. It also gives them the opportunity to be an expert in something that they do have strength in. I was teaching a K class last year, so I didn't really bring in the program (although it is doable at that age). This year I am teaching a "rough around the edges" sort of group (lots of boys and lots of big personalities) and I think that this might be a good fit to help them work more cooperatively (grade 3).<br /><br />In my uni class, we had "spirit buddies" as well. At the beginning, it seemed like a lame exercise (and there were several of my classmates who took it as a extra 15 minutes to get a coffee) but I also see the value in it. I started looking forward to that time with my buddies, and was sad when they weren't there. We actually still keep in contact even though we're no longer classmates. <br /><br />There's my two cents! Sorry if it's a little TL;DR! :)<br /><br />Dawn<br /><b><a href="http://applesowlsmochas.blogspot.ca" rel="nofollow">Apples, Owls, and Peppermint Mochas</a></b>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712765734204602977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448232018987603716.post-34817459652826981772014-07-27T22:24:34.767-07:002014-07-27T22:24:34.767-07:00This is very interesting to me.

Principles 1, 3, 4, and 5 relate well to my teaching style. I do not rule over my class like an authoritarian teacher, but I wish to work with my students, allow them a voice, and a say in the classroom. I guess I work with them the way I would want a respectful boss or principal to work with me. As I create (and edit, and reflect, and create again) my goals for 2014-2015, they all seem to connect to the Six Teaching Strategies in Democratic Classrooms. If we begin our goals there, then we will be on track for a comfortable and safe in the classroom environment where students will be prepared to learn and we (just as important in my opinion) will enjoy teaching in.<br />I look forward to your next summary.<br />~Michele<br /><a href="http://www.jacksoninthemiddle.com/" rel="nofollow">Jackson In The Middle</a><br /> Mrs. Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04783455839706073309noreply@blogger.com
