PDProtocol_Aug6

As you prepare sessions for the August 6-7 district days, please use the following protocol :
>
 * Write clear learning objectives for the session:
 * What will participants know and be able to do?
 * Because the session is only two hours, think about the three (3) things you want participants to know or be able to do //well//. Don't try to tackle too many objectives as you will have participants of varying technology skills, who may become frustrated and shut down if you try to tackle too much.
 * Chunk the two-hour session into at least three learning activities.
 * Design learning activities that...
 * Have the instructor MODEL a concept or skill.
 * Give participants a chance to practice in small learning groups or with a partner.
 * Allow participants to work independently with instructor moving about the room to monitor and offer individual help as needed.


 * Design hand-outs/resources to help participants throughout the session and after the session:
 * To save money and be ecologically responsible, please minimize paper copies.
 * Post hand-outs on the wiki page for your session. For future reference, a link to the wiki will be added to the district website. If you need help posting content to the wiki, please contact Lisa Huff or Pam Brooks.
 * If you have print hand-outs, please provide Pam Brooks a master copy by **July 15**so that she can make copies for your sessions. Otherwise, you will need to come to district office to make copies because Pam will be involved in other trainings.
 * Please do not send individual hand-outs to Pam at different times; instead, prepare all hand-outs for a session and send the entire "packet" at one time.


 * Please provide a list of needed resources to Pam Brooks no later than July 1:
 * Resources may include markers, anchor charts, sticky notes, highlighters, etc. Please do not request expensive supplies such as flash drives, CD's, etc. as funds are limited. Be frugal!
 * Please complete this form so that we can compile all needed resources and copies into one document.


 * On August 6-7, please arrive early to allow time to make sure you have all needed supplies and that technology in your assigned room is working.
