2024 Triangle Math Alliance Summit - Free Math PD at NCSU!

We're excited to announce that registration is now open for the NC State Math Summit 2024!  This event, free for JCPS K-12 math teachers, coaches and leaders, will be held at NCSU's Talley Student Union on Tuesday, August 6, 2024 from 8:30 am - 4:00 pm. James O'Neal will provide the Keynote Address, and gradeband-specific sessions will follow.  Click here to register for the event, which is co-hosted by NCSU and the Triangle Math Alliance, a group composed of the math departments from Johnston County Public Schools, Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools, Durham Public Schools, Orange County Public Schools, and Wake County Public Schools.

  

Not ready to leave the beach for math PD?  This year's in-person math summit will be followed by a NC State Virtual Math Summit 2024, a virtual day of learning on August 7 for those unable to attend the summit in person!  Times and session details for the Virtual Math Summit will be announced at a later date.




New Canvas Course! Foundations of Writing: Handwriting and Spelling

We are pleased to announce the new asynchronous Canvas course, Foundations of Writing: Handwriting and Spelling, which is now available to teachers, related service providers, administrators, and district leadership.

 

This course is focused on the development of foundational writing skills. Accuracy and automaticity of handwriting and spelling are necessary in order to concentrate on written composition. Participants will learn about the background, prevalence, and impact of writing and spelling challenges for students with and without disabilities.

 

Handwriting and spelling development is predictable; however, all students need high quality, differentiated core instruction while some students may require more targeted systems of intervention to be successful. This course will discuss instructional, curricular, and environmental enhancements to support diverse learner needs within an MTSS. Participants will examine specially designed instruction for writing and spelling for students with disabilities, including a specific learning disability such as dysgraphia.

 

Individuals interested in completing the course can find it in NCEES and can complete it independently or within a professional learning community. 

 

Note: This course was collaboratively developed by literacy and occupational therapy consultants within the Office of Exceptional Children at the NC Department of Public Instruction and reviewed by practitioners in the field as well as interagency partners at DPI.

As many of you know, at Dixon Road ES we will be celebrating the love of reading all month for Read Across America. I am excited to have time to celebrate authors, books, and hopefully ignite a love of reading in some students who don't have it already. HERE you will find events planned for the month. It is the expectation that at least twice this month you meet with your buddy class to read. The list of buddy classes can be found on the calendar in the notes section at the bottom. I am also sharing the Staff Favorite Books Slideshow that you can share with your students anytime this month and will beg Ms. Tina to have it up in the office a few days this month. The link is under instructional resources on the dashboard and linked at the top of the Read Across America Calendar. A few updates: 1. We will not have a WICOR Reading strategy focus this month but will have a show and tell section in each blog where pictures of WICOR strategies in practice will be shared. Doing something...

  This week, I wanted to share a quick video that illustrates the GIST Strategy that can be found on the walkthrough tool under Reading Strategies. To hep students get the gist (get it...gist) of the strategy you could do as a class a few times and then after some time and with scaffolding as needed you can gradually release it to students to complete it independently. Also, please know that I placed the  WICOR Playbook on our dashboard under Instructional /Digital Resources for your convenience. Please let me know any strategies you'd like to know more about and I can feature here! Hope you have a great weekend and please take time to fill your cup. You're no good to anyone else if your cup isn't full. See you Monday!
