I thought this book was excellent...Bully for you. I thought this book was excellent and have contemplated with the idea of using it for a book study with the secondary teaching staff (5th-12th grades). I would want to make a volunteer basis. How might we go about doing this? What are your thoughts? <BR/><BR/>Be careful with homework. Use it for the correct reasons and not for busy work. Keep in mind that learning must take place for it to be valuable. Also, remember a middle school or high school student may have up to six class periods and that may mean six homework assignments.<BR/><BR/>I also see an importance of including formative assessment with feedback as an important aspect of learning. I might suggest you look deep in to ensuring you are using some time of formative assessment to check for learning.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10801451348746147978noreply@blogger.com
