I would love to see outlines of how people set up 4-day workshops. Logistics to think about, materials needed and where to get, or how to create updated packets, who to contact state or local, funding resources, sb-ceu (how far in advance to request and basic write-ups). Leah in da U.P.

Hello! This is Suzy Khoury. This year I have conducted 3 workshops for East Lansing and Lansing School District. One tool that I found helpful while presenting is to use the posters that previous PD sessions' small groups put together. I usually keep the good quality posters, laminate them and then use them when I present in other schools. The posters serve as samples. Also for the last component, Assessment, there is a video from U-tube that I have used several times and got a lot of positive feedback. You might choose to use it. It is a series that you can find on you tube under title: The teacher and the consultant. Hope you find this helpful! Suzy :-) suzy.khoury@lansingschools.net

I typed up the agenda that our CAL facilitators gave to us when we did our training last summer. Feel free to use it : Erica :) ehilliker@godfrey-lee.org
