[Ike] Follow -up

[Weinand, Stacey]

Thank you for the comments on the list serve.  I think they can be helpful
for all.

Saturdays are an effective way to meet the 45 hour requirement.  

Here are some other ideas as well which might be helpful.  Anyone who is
using a different strategy -- please share with us.

*	Use the teacher prof days before school begins for the teachers
(your participants) to share with others in their school at similar grade
levels.  
*	
*	Consider setting up study groups where the teacher/participant meets
with some colleagues to discuss a lesson plan or a case study which reflects
the goals of your workshop.  They could report back to you via email each
time.
*	
*	Schedule time to observe the teacher in the class (you should be
able to count your observation time) and then meet with the teacher.  Have
the teacher schedule time to observe in other classrooms utilizing some
criteria.
*	
*	Work with the teachers to develop a professional growth plan.  This
also could be done via email with a short meeting(s).
*	
*	At the end of your summer training, have the teacher(s) make
suggestions on ways to meet the 45 hour follow-up.  They may be together at
times and maybe do things separate at times.  

Please try to make the 45 hours of follow up a way to ensure the
teacher/participant is reflecting on the summer training, implementing
strategies/curriculum, and/or growing as a professional.
