Debrief from Oral Testing Presentation on March 19, 1999:
Debrief from Oral Testing Presentation on March 19, 1999:
Send out “Thank you’s” to:
Marcus Whitman (Administration, Laurie & FL Dept., Laurie’s class, Caf. staff, custodial staff)
Al Martino
Video suppliers
Victor’s survey and results re. release time, FLES, etc.--send out to schools not covered. Rosemary will ask Dawn Marullo for it.
Ideas for next time:
Find out how many are new teachers and provide information before diving into the “assumed”.
Match new and veteran teachers in paired, practiced activities
Good stuff:
Audience attentive, on task
Immediate turn-over of shared ideas (into packet by end of day)
Jody has sent questions to Al Martino from Conference feedback sheet from Checkpoint A. We’re waiting for a response. Rosemary will send Checkpoint B questions from feedback to Al. We will send answers out to LOTE teachers through BOCES mail.
(Aside: Bob thinks that Al Martino will be in Rochester to address students with special needs in LOTE programs. Rosemary will contact Al to verify.)
Where do we go from here?
