Faculty Meeting Review: What is a Text- Dependent Question?A text-dependent question asks a question that can only be answered by referring explicitly back to the text. It does not rely on background information or depend on students having other experiences or knowledge. Text-dependent questions are a tool to deeper understanding and analysis from close reading of the texts.

Web Tools and games that adjust to student's Level of Learning"Automated personalization" sounds like an oxymoron but when you use blended learning tools programs you remediate and enrich students without writing separate lesson plans. It gives students a supported challenge and sometimes a choice as well and makes personalization easy if you are trying to implement it on your own. the CMS Student Portal is one stop shopping for tech sites that will help your students. (If you don't know what all those tools are click here for definitions http://www.cmslearns.org/student-portal ) CMS logins and directions for Dreambox and Compass Learning - note student password changes if you are looking for a game or tool for a specific topic or objective (like this for DNA or this for multiple topics ) I will be happy to help you find one to suit your goals.

*What is a Global Ready Capstone Project?
" The Capstone Project must demonstrate the educator’s ability to embed opportunities for students to frame, analyze, communicate, and respond to issues of global significance through instructional practices that meet the content standards and foster students’ global awareness....The Capstone Project will include evidence that the teacher’s practice leads to increased student competence in this area. " From The NC State Board of Ed Policy Revision ID Number: TCP-H-001 http://www.dpi.state.nc.us/docs/globaled/actions/tcp-h-001.pdf "A Ghost-Walk is a campus or classroom visit to an empty space where the participants simply make note of what they see and/or don't see in relation to a focus question or specified categories." from http://principalblogs.typepad.com/leadertalk/2007/09/ghost-walks-for.html The purpose of this experience is not so much for the benefit of person whose room is being toured, but for each visitor to glean something valuable from FOCUSED tour of the room. For this ghost walk, our focus question will be: "What would I know about this class from looking around this room?" Think about this question both as a teacher, and as a student. Even if you spend time in your coworker's classroom regularly, viewing the room with a purpose will reveal new ideas. It is important to remember that the purpose of this walk is NOT to judge the value of what you see for that person's teaching but to merely "notice and note" and think about YOUR OWN teaching. Procedure:
Eventually we hope to be able to do an instructional walk in every room in the building but will follow Ms. Barone's emailed schedule of rooms for this first round. Piedmont's ILT members did this activity during a tour of Marie G. Davis and found that each classroom had something of value to us as the "Ghost" Our IB Webinar course is now available on MyTalent! Register before 1/31 for "Lit 497 Piedmont IB training."
