Matt Hall Visits SPF Public Schools

School One elementary staff of Grades 1 through 4 had the opportunity to receive professional training in the area of writer’s workshop from The College of New Jersey professor Matthew Hall.
Teachers were given the opportunity to meet in a small setting to learn strategies of writing for their particular grade level. This small setting offered the opportunity for teachers to ask questions and get ideas with an emphasis on conferring. In addition, Mr. Hall presented a demo lesson for teachers to see first hand ways to incorporate what they learned into their practices.
The day ended with a debriefing session to discuss the lesson, experiences, next steps, and ideas. It was a positive experience for the teachers of School One.
