1. Date and Reflection

I am excited to use this strategy in my Read 180 class. 

3/6/24 (date of session)

Beneficial information regarding scoring student writing samples. 

We found the scoring videos to be extremely helpful.  The quizzes will be helpful with the fidelity of the program. 

Classes @ ETSU

In 1991, I taught this to my middle school students. The structure and routine of the sentence writing strategy gave my students what they needed to have success with writing. In 2017 some 26 years later, I have taken Proficiency in Sentence Writing again. It was so nice even for me to see the familiar set up of modeling by the teacher, cue cards, student verbal rehearsal, etc. all came back to me! Big difference is that this time presenters were using computers and projectors and not the old overheads that were used the last time I took it! 

Enjoyed this PD and know that it will make an impact. Completed with Pam Leitzell
Completed on July 28, 2016

I attended a two day conference in October 2017 at JMU in Harrisonburg, Va.  I was very impressed with the strategy and knew it would be a great to teach it to our struggling writers.

Attended Proficiency in the Sentence Writing Strategy - parts 1 and 2 - with Susan and Julie.  Examined the stages (especially stages 2-5), PENS mnemonic, verbal practice checklists, sentence progress charts, and more. Assessed sentence lessons, a sample paper with the sentence score sheet, and and collaboratively completed a FRAME.

We went over the models and how to score pre and post tests.
