2013+-+Needs


 * We are so glad you are joining us for this learning adventure! To make your experience a bit more personal, we suggest you bring the following "supplies" with you: **
 * **2 Nonfiction books which you feel are exemplary (not the Appendix B "exemplars")**
 * **1 ELA core novel which is new to your building, new to you and part of a NYSED "module" which you would like to become more familiar with (for secondary librarians, you may want to bring a novel or book from the NYSED 9 - 12 Text Recommendations)**
 * **1 low-budget, low-level thought, poor-excuse-for-research project that needs a "makeover"** //** or... **//
 * **Review a module that one grade level in your building may be doing this year, and identify the "theme" of the module. (Ex... Module 7-1 is about "journeys", Sudan, water, and more...)**

**Don't let this list scare you! -- We will be working with groups and partners and as SED claims: "The collective work of a group on a bad day, is better than the independent product one will produce on a good day." - NTI Training, July 2013**  **We will have paper copies of most of the handouts. However, we will also be posting eCopies just prior to the weekend, if you prefer to download and work on your computer.**
