Flier!
From Kay Buckner-Seal, Cheryl A. Edwards
This week’s TACTics is intended for your distribution because its
contents is actually a flier advertising The 5th Annual TOCFE International Conference held in Detroit, June 25-28! Now, we know that
people can access this flier from our website, but how many people really visit
the website? Let’s not leave it totally
up to chance; help spread the word. You
have two options for distributing this information:
1.
Electronically— Highlight, copy, then paste the information below
onto an e-mail page. Then forward it to
your colleagues.
2.
Paper copies— Notice that we have featured an attachment. The attachment is a formatted copy of the
flyer. All you have to do is drag the
attachment to your desktop and open it from Microsoft Word! Print it and make copies to give to your
colleagues!
We really could use feedback on option #2. If you have few problems opening the
attachment, then let us know. If we
find that most people can open it with ease, then we may consider sending
TACTics out as an attachment each week along with our regular e-mail
version. You will be surprised at the
clarity you will gain by opening it as an attachment! Send your feedback to one of the addresses listed in the
Editor’s Notes below.
Okay, the following is the e-mail version. See #2 for directions to open the
attachment.
TEACHERS!
Do these things bother you?
· Students not knowing how to use higher order thinking skills or how to explore a subject for “deep knowledge.”
· Not ha!ving sufficient strategies for differentiating instruction.
· Students not seeing the relevance of what they are learning to the world around them.
· Students lacking skills for substantive discussion.
· Students not knowing how to complete assignments/projects or set and reach goals.
· Students not knowing how to make decisions, solve problems or control their behavior.
What if
there was a way to solve these problems?
TOCFE offers training in generic, logic-based thinking process
tools that will help you provide your students with authentic learning
opportunities. These concrete tools can be used for instruction in your
classroom tomorrow.
