    We were able to meet as a grade level to figure out class lists for next year. It was veryhelpfulDiscussion about assessment in our department.

    We came together as a faculty for breakfast. It was a nice way to begin our day. We seldomhave the opportunity to get together and enjoy one another's company.

    We had a chance to share and plan a writing unit. We also looked at student work to discussadditional goals in writing.Learning about intervention strategies (RTI)We participated in an excellent presentation and discussion regarding RTI. I also beganworking on a new Wiki space for my anticipated grade level change.

    RTI presentation from Cohoes special ed teachers. EXCELLENT program, but they have 4reading teachers per building and 4 special ed teachers. We are quite understaffed for thissoon-to-be state mandate.

    After our faculty meeting, the time I was able to spend with my colleagues was wonderful.We were able to have a nice discussion about retention and recruitment in the elementary bandand orchestra programs. It would have been nice to do this for the entire morning. I didn'tfeel as if the first part of the day was very productive.

    Worked with grade-level colleagues from other schools to draft a unti test aligned to the revisedsocial studies curriculum units.

    Very disorganizedI was part of a group that had the good fortune to get hands on experience from Julie Dwyer'sscience presentation.

    We spent a lot of time going over the Math survey, instead of talking about curriculum ideas andresources.

    Working on OT schedules for next year

    My colleagues and I also created a parent survey to be sent out this week regarding topics forupcoming parenting programs.Discussing the math text, testing, etc...

    working on lesson plans

    We discussed curriculum mapping.

    Training for Naviance.

    The afternoon was excellent. It was so nice to get an up close look at the SmartBoard and the waywe as music teachers can use it in the classroom. It would have been helpful if our session couldhave been broken up. The entire music department was involved and therefore, it was harder to getthings accomplished. It would be been more beneficial if we had the ability to do a session just forelementary staff. Our presenter, Lisa V. was excellent! She had so many great ideas! She also pu

    her whole presentation on the server, so we can go back and refer to it when needed.

    The Math department worked on making final exams for 8G and 8 .

    Continued work on Naviance.math computation & problem solving; math survey resultsIEP paperwork

    I met with my elementary reading dept. colleagues here at LR. Our time was spent sharing a lot o

    comprehension questions and strategies. It was extremely productive and would like it to happenmore often. Thank you for offering the option to do this.

    other in future workshop days

    Longer periods of time to work with others in my department so that we can discuss and complete aleast one full objective of the department

    More time to work on development of projects or integrating technology with support.Since the elementary teachers were split up for the afternoon, I would have liked to have gone tothe afternoon session in the morning, and then meet with my own grade level colleagues in theafternoon to have the opportunity to share out what we learned.

    I would appreciate time to develop technology integration such as a Wiki space and Notebook files,both of which are time intensive.

    I think it is much more beneficial to have time to do cirriculum planning and organize materials forour classes, than to be booked into workshops all day. This year was helpful in that respect .Doing more activities that pertain to our teaching area

    learning about programs in other area schools, learning about different industries and corporationsthat have a presence here in the capital district, learning more about the opportunities in thecommunity that can be brought back into the classroom to help students see the real worldapplications of our curriculumThe more time you can give us to independently work on curriculum and revisions, the better! I hadlot of time to work independently, and this turned out to be the best workshop day I've had sinceI've been at Shaker!This schedule fit the needs of my department well (Special Education).

    s sc e u e e nee s o my epar men we pec a uca on .

    One year (I think about ten years ago) we were able to go to observe classes in other schools. I fethat was really beneficial.

    PS- in the phrase "pair activities" pair is spelled PARE.- the word "activities" is misspelled in the afternoon session box.

    Curriculum mapping in Science, Math, Reading, Writing.

    We need at least one mental/physical health activity built in to the workshop days. The mostvaluable workshop day we have had was the one with all of the choices.....started off with a comediato get us laughing. If we could balance this type of workshop with the curricular work, it would keeveryone positive. The workshop I sat in on on Friday seemed very hostile. People need a chance tolet loose, so they can address the compex and stressful issues at hand.

    As foreign language teachers in the JH we are scattered throughout the building, thus we don't getoo many chances to work together on our curriculum/program/tests, etc. It helps us, tremendousto have the time to sit together and work on aspects of our language curriculum.

    I think it would be very beneficial for the sessions in the morning to be the workshops at differentlocations so that we can come back and share what we learned.

    We seem to get great ideas but never have the time to share them with our fellow teachers.

    I would like to meet with my own coworker during these days to work on the above items. We can sat computer/look at reading/science and just focus on what we can do to improve. Our grade levelmeets during the year and we then can share our knowledge with them.

    More sharing among grade level colleagues in other schools.

    More training on Daily FiveThis was one of the first workshop days in which a significant amount of time was given to work onfinal exam writing and curriculum development. We were able to spend time that we never seem tohave talking to fellow department members. This was the most productive workshop day in a longtime and much needed! Thanks to those who organized it as department centered in the high school.

    PLEASE, let teachers propose workshop activities that will actually enhance their teaching insteadof the mass drivel we are forced to sit through. I still can't believe that we were shown how to

    delete our email in the morning workshop - what is this? 1996?

    department field trips, inservice type coursesRather than the auditorium technology session, we could have had more time in our departmentslearning how technology specifically works with our content area.

    The time that was allocated during the workshop day was great!!! I think more workshop days shouldallocate time for teachers to focus on curriculum and tehnologies we don't have time for throughouthe work week.

    I thought having time to work on curriculum was the best use of my time thus far. I felt the timewas productive, especially with the cut-backs in curriculum development this summer. Thank you fproviding me the opportunity to work with my colleagues and devloping end of year review - which isneeded for 11R and 11A.

    Why are we curriculum mapping? What makes it better than what we were doing before?

    Wellness days have always been great. Much of what we do on workshop days is repetitive. Wealways liked having a wellness day to choose what we were interested in doing.

    I like having time to work with my department to share ideas and lessons.Also, I would like to have more training on using the smartboard.

    I truly appreciated having time to collaborate with my colleagues, as we do not have manyopportunities to get together and share information.

    RTI

    I would love to share lesson ideas with my grade level colleagues in an informal manner. I could seehaving the grade level present, setting up stations that fit with the major subjects, and rotatingthrough the stations. Each time the participants arrived at a station, they could share some oftheir most useful activities with peers. Maybe a separate station could be technology/smartboarduses. After 10 minutes, we switch. Everyone tries to go to all the stations, and a running list iskept at each station. The key is to make sure the lessons correspond to our grade level learningobjectives. We would all leave with a list of activities, a general idea on how to run them, and the

    person who teaches them as a contact. Eventualy, this information can be put on the mappingdatabase.Community day would be nice again.

    As a music department, we get very little time to work with our elementary colleagues. Usually,things are rushed through due to lack of time. The time we had on the workshop day to meet as aninstrumental faculty was great. There were so many topics that we could have covered! In thefuture, it would be nice to have more time to do music department activities, especially as anelementary staff.

    RTI; PLCsHaving other teachers show how to do things with the technology is not helpful at all. There is toomuch technical information provided and without a computer/hardware to do along with them, theinformation is all lost.Would love to have a big name reading guru speak to the entire elementary teaching staff. I thinkwe have strayed from our reading goals for N. Colonie.Wellness days

    I thought this workshop was very beneficial and productive. It was a great day!

    Sharing knowledge of outside agencies and possibly visiting with other department personnel.

    I think the goal of the afternoon was useful, but too ambitious for 2 hours.

    sharing of materials and ideas with colleagues
