Staff+Development

During my tenure at Olive Chapel I have had the opportunity to lead many staff development sessions for the staff. I have included a few sessions on this page. During this time, the K-2 literacy specialist and myself led "Literacy Mondays" focusing on guided reading, writer's workshop and writing conferences. We filmed select teachers while focusing on reading and writing within the classroom.

Each week our curriculum support team met with administration to collaborate and share updates in each of our curriculum areas. I have also collaborated and presented information with this team to our staff focused on professional learning communities.

In 2006, Nancy Mangum and myself presented "Implementing Writer's Workshop in a Balanced Literacy Framework" to staff at Salem Elementary.

The annual NCTies conference was held at the Raleigh Convention Center in March 2015. I had the opportunity to volunteer for the NCTies Board and help coordinate social events during the conference. I was nominated to serve on the NCTies Board next year.

After attending NCTies our media specialist and I presented technology resources during the most recent Early Release Day.

This summer I will be presenting with a long-time colleague, Nancy Mangum, at a technology conference which is held in Wichita, Kansas. This technology conference is Podstock 2015. [|https://] [|**podstock**][|.essdack.org/]
