A Morning with Bob!
Grand Forks Public School spent the morning with Dr. Robert Marzano.
The topic, other than personal stories and jokes shared by our guest speaker, was teacher evaluation. But, if you listened carefully, the true message was being committed to continuous growth, caring about your craft, the challenge of making a difference, and the willingness to work at improvement (small increments over time - making an impact and becoming an expert).
We were engaged in learning and learning games. Many of you recognized these games from professional development, curriculum committee work, and your very own classrooms!
Last year, I provided professional development on Effective Vocabulary Instruction. A key step in this process is using academic games. I also blogged about using games last year.

Have a great Friday and holiday weekend! Feel free to visit with one of your instructional coaches about using games to increase student engagement, motivation, and understanding.
