How do Writing Project teachers talk about their students? Find out on this week’s Teachers Teaching Teachers
Writing Project teachers from Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Northern California will be joining us on this Wednesday’s Teachers Teaching Teachers at http://edtechtalk.com/live . We will be talking about “Resiliency: What We are Learning from Our Students.”
Come join the conversation! Find out what Writing Project Teachers from urban and rural schools are talking about. Learn how we are beginning to talk about our students’ special skills to remain resilient in the face of obstacles. Find out how Writing Project teachers perspectives on Resiliency get played out in what books we choose for our students, what technologies to use, and how to build curriculum that matches our resilient students’ skills and habits.You are invited to listen and interact with teachers across the globe during a special two-part Teachers Teaching Teachers webcast, titled “Resiliency: What We are Learning from Our Students,” sponsored by the Urban Sites Network and Rural Sites Network.
Resiliency theories have been shared for over a decade. Members of the NWP’s Urban and Rural Sites Networks, who have been discussing the implications of resiliency research for classroom practice, will share what teachers see and do when stakes are high, supports are limited, and odds are tough—and kids rise above it all.
Bonnie Benard, keynote speaker at the 2009 Urban Sites Network Conference, explores this topic in her book Resiliency: What We Have Learned , which helps to frame this discussion.
Join us to tell a story from your classroom about resiliency and what you have learned.
