Good training session tonight...we need to get that experience that O'Leary has...we'll get it...each year gets better since we feel more comfortable with the curriculum...our networking helps...
Yeah, it was pretty good. He kind of assuaged my fears about my consistent need to cajole, bully, and guilt my students into getting assignments in and keep up on the reading. When I envision other people's AP kids I picture the perfect classroom where everyone is prepared up to date on the reading.
I still want to see a nuts and bolts teaching presentation on strategies. I want to know how people structure discussion, how much to get into analytical lenses, etc. I also wouldn't mind hearing from a panel of college professors. I want to know about the goals of introductory literature classes.
But I agree, I'm finding the networking enlightening.
