Re-imaging SIM: These Tools Stand the Test of Time session provided time for participants to investigate the revised SIM brochure, HLP crosswalk, and the SIM Near Pod overview. My breakout group answered questions about the HLP crosswalk and the joint notetaking Google doc.
The SIM brochure group shared the features of the updated brochure. I think the brochure is a great way to explain SIM to educators and parents. Another use I see is using it to get in the door to talk about SIM and discuss how the strategies or content enhancement routines can address a district's or school's learning needs.
The HLP crosswalk is a great resource. Educators involved in preservice education can use it with students. All of the crosswalks provide a resource for SIM PDers to go when they need to connect to a district's or school's current initiatives. For me, the concern that SIM is one more thing being added to teachers' plates comes up frequently. The crosswalks will help me during discussions on how SIM fits with what teachers are already doing. Having all of this information at my fingertips is fantastic.
I love, love, love the new SIM Nearpod Overview! Teachers will find it engaging and informative. I think the overview clearly communicates what SIM is all about in a short amount of time. I am looking forward to using it.
I appreciate having all of these resources to use. Having all of this information ready to go saves so much time and allows me to focus my efforts on improving what I do as a SIM PDer.
