The in-service today was informative and necessary for our students. I attended an anticipation guide in-service a few years ago, and found that the students were much more eager to read when challenged to choose the right and wrong responses. The other topics were also useful. Thank You for another good lesson.
1. What reading strategy did you find most helpful? NONE
2. Which strategy would you be MOST likely to use? NONE
3. Is there a specific strategy you feel you would like some help with implementing? SHOP SKILLS TO GET KIDS JOBS
4. Thought on the newsletter/message board. Would you use any of the strategies? NOPE, I WOULDNT USE THOSE.
WHY CANT WE HAVE A GOOD INSERVICE LIKE LAST YEAR, WHEN EVERYONE TOOK A TECHINCAL SHOP. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A TECHNICAL SCHOOL, WHERE KIDS LEARN TRADES TO GET JOBS AND BECOME CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF SOCIETY.
Informative inservice, well presented;
1.All were useful
2.Reading for a purpose, and Newsletter
3.It was easy to grasp the concept
4.Well made site, informative
The best part of the workshop was the ability to create an anticipatory guide that is applicable to our own class. Workshop on reading with a purpose made strong point on why it is important that relate relevance of assignment to the student.
Interesting and well-planned inservice. I will utilize the anticipation guide in my future assignments. I don't think I need any help implementing any of the ideas presented today. I also like the Google Groups idea and the plan for a newsletter/message board. It will help us share strategies with each other.
Thanks for staying on time!
1) I really enjoyed the reading/highlighting activity to show how reading must have a clear purpose. Excellent! Disturbingly easy to see things from the POV of a burglar.
2) I will use anticipation guides.
3) I feel that all these guides will be useful.
4) The newsletter/message board was FABULOUS! I will use it often. Thank you!!
1. Like the Anticipation Guide.
2. Anticipation.....
3. No
4. I may use it.
1. I found the Anticipation Guide workshop most helpful. I like that it's a bit more condensed but employs the same strategies of UNRAAVEL.
2. I would be most likly to use the Anticipation Guide especially since the template in located on the Reading Team's blog.
3. I think I understand all the strategies.
4. I think the site is very well done and easy to navigate. I found the strategies there helpful and once I look into them more I am sure I would use some.
What reading strategy did you find most helpful?
The reading for a purpose
2. Which strategy would you be MOST likely to use?
Reading for a purpose
3. Is there a specific strategy you feel you would like some help with implementing?
No.
4. Thought on the newsletter/message board. Would you use any of the strategies?
Possibly. I will have to take some time to read the material on it. I would like to take some time to read the recommended books.
I especially found the anticiption guide helpful. I will begin to use this with my classes. I also liked the reading web site.
1.) anticipation guide
2.) I may use anticipation guide or something similar.
3.) increase student interest
4.) another wonderful srategy for reading, but my students still can not multiply or do fractions, make change or subtract feet and inches!!
Another good inservice. Love the format (again). It was informative and the time flew. I particularly like the anticipation guide and would be most likely to use that strategy. It makes students think before they even start reading and gives them specific points to focus on during reading.
1. The anticipation guide is a nice idea. That will be helpful to engage students in new concepts.
2. Reading with a purpose will be nice for certain topics.
3. I'll incorporate both of these strategies depending on the topic being taught.
4. The newsletter/message board is quite informative.
1 anticipation guide
2 anticipation guide
3 no
4 great
1) Anticipation guides
2) Anticipation guides
3) I will begin to use anticipation guides- I ahould be able to develop one from the examples found on a google search.
4) I liked the board. Very informative and helpful. I hope the language arts classes are allowing their students time to access the page during their clas time.
I found the Anticipation strategy the most interesting and useful.I will definitely use this strategy in my classroom.
The Newsletter session was also interesting. I did not know that it even existed.
I liked the anticipation guide strategy and that's the one I'm willing to try.
Thank you.
I liked the aticipation guide the best and I will most likely use that strategy in my class. I haven't really looked at the newsletter before, so I will check it out
Overall a good in-service. The reading for a purpose session was a good excercise. The newsletter session was not in my opinion. After spending 20 minutes completing the "scavenger hunt" we never reviewed the answers to see if we were navigating the site correctly. I will have to spend more time with the site myself to evaluate its value.
The anticipation guide session was also valuable and I will use this tool to better convey information to my students.
1. relating the reading to something the students will enjoy.2.the anticipation guide. 3. no. 4. I would like to try some in the future
Anticipation guides
I would most likely use anticipation guides;
No;
Yes
1.Creating The anticipation guides
@
2. It was somewhat useful, but time consuming, so I probably wouldn't use it
3.NONE
4.Newsleter: probably wouldn't use it. I would like a message board for items people have they would like to give away, rather than throw out
I found that these exercises where excellent in this workshop I found that I will use the anticipation guide in my classroom.
The inservice today was interesting. I really enjoyed the "reading with a purpose" portion, and it reminded me of how important it is to bring relevance and focus to our students before they read. I'll definitely use that again.
Reading for a purpose did make me realize that students read stories and extract different information depending on their purpose of reading it.
The anticipation guide is a good idea but I really do not think I would ever use it during my class. Although I like the idea of the guide, math just does not involve that much reading to do an assignment like this one.
To be honest I think that the presenters did a great job today but the information is not that useful to me. Sorry!
1)session # 3
2) sessionj #3
3) no
4)no
I felt that Ms. Fisher, and Ms. Keith, did a supurb job and session #3 would be the most useful tool to utilize in my related program
I enjoyed the reading site and had not known about it.
the anticipation guide I think will be helpful but could use some modifications for shop applications.
The in-service today was very informative. The reading with purpose strategy was especially useful and makes sense, most students are reluctant to read if no direction or purpose is presented. Anticipation guides are always useful. I use them all the time.
! nothing
2 anticipation guide
3 no thank you
4no
The most helpful strategy for me was the anticipation guide, which is the one I am most likely to use. A very good in-service
I found today's inservice to be very useful. I would like to incorporate the anticipation guide into my teaching as well. It seems to me that most of my kids look at the questions and then search the text for the answer rather than reading the text directly. Granted, the text tends to be very dense and is not an easy read so that doesn't help. However, I would like to get them to think beyond the text a bit more.
Thanks to the entire group for all the hard work that went into today's service.
I enjoyed the anticipation guide part of the in service. I think it is a good way to get students to extract more information out out what they are reading.
Both the anticipation guides and reading with a purpose were very good workshops. I will use both of these strategies. I do not need help implementing them. The newsletter was interesting, but it is not likely I will use it.
1) Anticipation Guide
2)Anticipation Guide
3)no
Comment: Why make us do the scavenger hunt related to the Reading web-site if they don't go over the answer. Like giving homework without checking it!!!
1-2.Though I found all exercises helpful, the reading strategy that I found most helpful was the anticipation guide. I found this to be a very helpful tool that is more in depth than the typical K-W-L guide. Students can access prior knowledge and learn new concepts almost simultaneously. This tool would be very helpful within my classroom, especially with my English inclusion students. It works well as a graphic organizer and focuses on the key points within the text.
4. I also found the newsletter helpful and interesting. It is always nice to see the recommended materials available for students and teachers. It is also a site that is easy to use and has very useful links to further websites.

1. Anticipation Guide was good, but Reading with a Purpose was very good as well.
2. Anticipation Guide.
3.Not right now.
4. Discovered the newsletter for the first time. Will spend more time looking at what is there to decide what maybe useful.
I found all three helpful. If I was to use any of the methods It would be "Reading For a Purpose".
I was impressed with the message board. It appeared to have very interesting information. In the future, I will make a point to revisit the site.

1.I found the all the strategy are good.
2.I would use all the strateis.
3.no
4.Yes, I would use any of tge strategies.
The 3 small group set-ups were interesting. It was good to have time to actually look at what is and can be done to help students pre-read. Being given time to complete our anticipation guide that can be used was helpful.
In the future all in-service should be applicable to help the teacher, instead of just introducing new approaches.
1 reading for a purpose
2 the newsletter
3 the same
4 yes
I think the in-service was very helpful for the students as well as teachers.It will help us understand certain subjects a whole lot better.
Anticipation.
Reading for a purpose.
No.
No.
1. Most helpful reading strategy was the anticipation guide.
2. Anticipation guide would be the one I would most likely use. I already use it.
3. No. The instructors today did a great job of explaining.
4. Terrific newsletter/message board. I looked at it a lot last year and had forgotten about it. I'll spend more time with it now.
Anticipation Guide - useful
Reading for a Purpose - waste of time
The reading inservice was great! I liked getting the template for an anticipation guide. Spending time on the reading grant web site was worthwhile. Very useful info. BTW, can chance we can change the name of the reading grant web site to something more attention-grabbing? It might increase use of the site. How about a school contest to rename it? Thanks for all the hard work today.
I found todays inservice helpful and informative, as a shop teacher I don't have the students do as much reading as I should. The newsletter had many good ideas in it and Kim Febres's presentaion was excellent (and painless)!
Linda Zambino also did an excellent job with reading for a purpose.
While I don't consider myself a good reader I found Deb Szylvian's "anticipatio" session interesting inspite of the fact that I would need to work on my own skills quuite a bit to use this.
Very good in-service. The strategies are easy to implement and will definately help with reading comprehension and teaching strategies.
I was most impressed with the Anticipation Guide. I think it is a useful tool to help students have a better comprehension of what they are reading. I believe that this would be the one strategy that I would use most in my classroom.
The Reading Team web-site was very difficult to navigate.
I enjoyed the scavenger hunt because it gave me a purpose to read the newsletter!
I think the ourose for reading activity is an eye-opener! It really makes you think twice when assigning material to read. Especially with some of the struggling readers we instruct.
overall another well done in-service!!!!
The in service was well presented and useful for my application within my related class.The anticipation guide was useful to see if the students have any past knowledge and it encourages great conversation with in the group.while using unravvel and relayed strategies i believe the students will benefit greatly. Yes i would use the message board.

OMG Can you say pretest then posttest?
1. the anticipation guide...by far.
2. same as above
3. no
4. The newsletter / message board was great. I could see this being a useful tool. Bob, site looks great! Nice job!!
PS - Mrs. Cornelier filled in for session 3...well done, super engaging presentation...nice slippers too!
I liked the inservice today. I would use the Anticipation quide or the internet search. The high light with a theme in mind, was good as well.
Mr. Dick's website was interesting and informative. I will visit it frequently in the future.I also enjoyed doing the anticipation guide and will use them often.
I liked the third presentation on the anticipation guide. Cheryl Bomal did a great job explaining how to use this valuable teaching strategy to help myself and my students achieve a higher level of learning
The Inservice gave much food for thought! The two sessions offering reading strategies were very good and nicely presented.
I can make use of both of these strategies. I will work with the Newsletter page -- It does offer useful tips and strategies as well.
The three-session schedule continues to work well.
Good Job.
interesting but not applicable to my area.
I thought that the day went well. I enjoyed Bob Dick's and Carol Johnson's presentation. They did a great job. I have enjoyed reading the posts that have been left, but I have a couple of comments. If our intent is to have the kids write more, and to think more deeply about what they study, why can't all of us do the same? 1 or 2 word answers are no good on the MCAS test, in school or in our relationships. If we are really trying to teach the children to think, to get jobs and to advance themselves by perhaps continuing their educations, then shouldn't we all take what we are learning more seriously. Sadly, the MCAS test does not test the kids on job skills, and I doubt that it ever will. At this point Math, English and Biology are tested and we need to continue to give all of the kids resources so that they can work their way through difficult textbooks, difficult testing and through a changing job market. The world economy has changed everything and simply training a student to be a tradesperson simply doesn't cut it any more. A purpose of a blog is not just to answer questions, but gives us a chance to reflect on what we are being taught.
So many positive comments. "Atta boys"...and "girls" to those who put the effort into bringing us such an invaluable in service.
How disturbing it is, however, to see we have EDUCATORS who do not recognize the value in improving reading skills for all students REGARDLESS of what subject we teach or what we are preparing the kids to do upon graduation. Even kids who go right from here to work must be strong readers to succeed!!! Mathematicians need to READ as well!!!
Nice job presenters!!
