http://instructionaldesigns.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-is-ayp-determined-in-mn.html

instructionaldesigns: History Teachers
http://instructionaldesigns.blogspot.com/2011/03/history-teachers.html
Tuesday, March 22, 2011. I had one of my more challenging training sessions last weekend. I was training a group of history teachers in Florida. My focus was on the importance of using reading strategies to better understand history content. Sometimes history teachers really know their content well but were not really trained in how to teach students how to read. They assume that the kids already know how to read. I think the lesson for me is to really get people to experience the Big 5 first themselves ...
