Agree with Mollie

Yesterday Mollie Defrancesco Turner and I had the opportunity to run a staff training with some of the literacy strategies we learned at the SURN conference. I would say our staff was very open and responsive to the brain based researched strategies we used. I think everyone enjoyed practicing marginalia after we modeled an example for them. I also think they liked using the graphic organizers that had them summarize, predict, question, and connecting. All staff agreed that if we can connect our students to the text it become more relevant and fun to learn. Also, 3-2-1 exit strategies were a big hit! Thanks!
