Then the students can then go and work on their own reading to help with individual goals. The students can help with these goals by working with partners or small groups. The teacher can then work with the small groups to guide them to maximize learning. ]]> 2018-07-17 17:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tstapleton1/h93lno34gu7n/wish/270435710 erobinson26 https://padlet.com/tstapleton1/h93lno34gu7n/wish/270436953 The speaker in this portion of the webinar explains how it is important that students are aware of their role in the reader's workshop model and how the teacher is there to help them.  She emphasizes that teachers need to explain to students that the workshop model is a place where they can practice the skills and strategies just like they would during sports practice.  Additionally, students should look for support and be supportive of their peers during this process.  ]]> 2018-07-17 17:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tstapleton1/h93lno34gu7n/wish/270436953 jkeyes5 https://padlet.com/tstapleton1/h93lno34gu7n/wish/270437080 In the webinar video, the speaker shows how important the introduction to the workshop model is.  The students need to know their role and how important being involved in their own learning is.  The students need to use the teacher as a model to come up with the strategies that will be most useful to them.  They also need to be self disciplined to know what they need to work on and to keep themselves on task and topic.  Also, they need to keep their partners in mind to make sure they are motivated and on task.  The teacher will be important in keeping them on task and in facilitating.

What I like is how the language is more sophisticated (self regulation, collaboration, self discipline). The mini lessons stay shorter when students understand the importance of the routine. First, I demonstrate, you watch, then you practice with me and then on your own. At the end we will talk about the great thinking that is happening.]]> 2018-07-31 15:40:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tstapleton1/h93lno34gu7n/wish/271567173 mgoess https://padlet.com/tstapleton1/h93lno34gu7n/wish/271567692 Lucy reinforces the idea of keeping our workshop simple and predictable, where teacher demonstrates, students try with guidance and then students work independently to practice skills in self chosen texts. It is important that students have time to read extensively.]]> 2018-07-31 15:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tstapleton1/h93lno34gu7n/wish/271567692
