On-Demand Lessons: Field-testing Project
Facilitator: Jean Wolph
Facilitator: Jennifer Bernhard
Facilitator: Linda Satterlee-McFadin
| Please register here if you are a Writing Project teacher who would like to volunteer to field-test an on-demand writing lesson this spring. In the survey which follows, you'll indicate your grade level and type of lesson you are most interested in field-testing, as well as the usual contact information. Ideally, lessons would be taught before testing, but that is up to you. All materials should be returned by June 1. You will be sent the lesson, a teacher feedback form, and a student exit slip. You'll be asked to return the feedback form, exit slips, and 3 samples of responses to the lesson from your class: 1 example of student work that showed strong understanding and use of the strategy, 1 that is satisfactory, and 1 that was not satisfactory. You will be given a postpaid envelope. Any questions? Contact jean.hicks@louisville.edu or jennifer.bernhard@clark.kyschools.us. |
