October 18, 2001 SDAIE Review

We met in grade levels and then rotated through groups reviewing SDAIE learning and methodology.

I started with seventh (awesome), eighth (quite incredible) and sixth (very collaborative). We made tree maps with the content on top and how we provide connections, comprehensibility and interactions.

With Ms. DeLuna, we reviewed the different EL levels: beginning, intermediate, advanced. There was also candy and a baby.

With Ms. Schooler, we reviewed language structures: how to provide starters and other frames so students can get what they know on paper. She gave candy too.

Apparently, Ms. Nakada's session was the worst: no candy and no baby.
