I feel much more focused after today's worktime. Walking in I felt like I was swimming in a black hole of indecision. I now am zoned in. My next step is to create an observation instrument.

Preston Webster replied to Liz Davis's discussion 'Rethinking Professional Development'

First a word about saving. At a meeting this fall, I wrote about Amy Fossett's observation of me. Unfortunately, I lost the blog because I failed to save it. That won't happen again. Using assessment to plan instruction and improve student perfor...

Laura Demaria replied to Cheryl Colpoys's discussion 'What are you using for teacher webpages?'

Our teachers use everything from wikispaces to iWeb. There's no real coordination, but all of our sites can be reached via our intranet: www.intranet.columbusacademy.org. I connect to my blog there, too: somenovelideas.typepad.com. We're probably ...
