My name is Suzanne Larsen. I am a third grade teacher at Woodfields Elementary and I am also a student completing my internship for my EdD in Reading and Literacy. Part of this internship is creating an online forum for teachers in GWD 50 - and friends from other districts - to have a new kind of PLC called "Fireside Chats".
The project I am completing is creating a REAL, online, job-embedded Professional Learning Community. PLCs are designed to be a collaboration among colleagues to share best practices and discuss how to best meet the needs of our students. However, real world demands and time constraints can interfere with this process. We have a district that is willing to provide us with some of the best professional development from some of the most noted experts in the field. We need to have a continuing dialogue among our peers to insure that what we have learned is being implemented to the highest standard.
Thus, "fireside chats" is born.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION!

I am first grade teacher. I hope to learn new teaching strategies and share ideas. I would like to try some activities that have been successful for others.I
It is hard to believe that we are in the final weeks of this school year. Where has the time gone? I would like to get new ideas to include in the summer packets that I send home with my soon- to -be second graders.
