This document discusses the differences between hospital births and home births. It notes that the cesarean section rate in the US has risen dramatically since the 1970s. One woman shares her negative experience with a rushed c-section in the hospital. In contrast, another woman describes her positive home birth experience, immediately bonding with her baby. The document argues that midwife-attended births at home or in birth centers have better outcomes than hospital births in the US, citing lower infant and maternal mortality rates in other countries where midwives attend most births. It questions the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' opposition to home births.

This document provides an agenda and information for an early release professional development session at Troutman Middle School. The agenda includes lunch, a 360 degree evaluation, shifting to the Common Core standards, and improving PLC effectiveness. Information is presented on the Common Core shifts needed in ELA and literacy, as well as tools like the ACE strategy, synthesis template, and digital annotation tools. Guidelines are outlined for improving PLC expectations at the content, grade, and team levels. The document concludes with an activity reflecting on PLCs and a request for feedback from the session.
The document discusses a shift in thinking around math education with the Common Core standards, focusing more on conceptual understanding rather than procedural skills alone. It highlights the importance of problem formulation over just solution, as noted by Einstein. Key structures of word problems are described, such as different types of division problems involving repeated subtraction, fair sharing, rates, and arrays. Resources for further information are also provided.
The document outlines a PDSA cycle for a learning plan, including expectations for teachers and students at each stage. It discusses using visual representations and differentiation strategies during the "Plan" and "Do" stages in kindergarten. Feedback would be captured during the "Act" stage to inform data analysis and adjustments to assessments, standards, and the current plan during the "Study" stage. The goal is to develop a learning configuration that meets the needs of all students.
1. The document discusses a professional development meeting about implementing the Common Core standards. It includes a timeline for rolling out the new standards across content areas in the district from 2010-2013.
2. Teachers participated in activities to familiarize themselves with the mathematical practices and comprehension of informational texts, which are emphasized in the Common Core.
3. The document also addresses how to understand the crosswalks between old and new standards and getting teacher feedback on challenges and opportunities of the Common Core.
The document outlines a tentative timeline and plan for rolling out the Common Core State Standards across subject areas in a school district from 2010-2013.

It discusses what NCEES is, expectations from the State Board of Education and Department of Public Instruction, and how the current evaluation process will be impacted. It outlines the timeline and steps for teachers to access NCEES, complete a fall 2010 self-assessment, and share it with administrators. Coaches will provide training to help teachers navigate and use the system.
This document summarizes key points from a professional development training on formative assessment. The training covered:
1) Defining formative assessment and differentiating it from summative assessment. Formative assessment is used to improve student learning, while summative assessment evaluates learning.
2) Strategies for using formative assessment in the classroom, such as checking understanding, identifying gaps, and providing feedback. It also discussed using data from summative assessments formatively.
3) Best practices for developing clear learning targets and criteria for success that students understand. It emphasized setting targets at the right depth and breadth.
The document discusses anchor activities, which are pre-planned, meaningful activities for students to work on independently when they finish other assignments early. They are meant to extend learning rather than be "busy work". Anchor activities allow for differentiated instruction and flexible grouping. Teachers can differentiate instruction based on content, process, product, and student characteristics like readiness, interest, and learning profile. Implementing anchor activities involves explaining expectations, developing tasks that require time and thinking, and providing clear instructions. They benefit differentiation and student-centered learning.
Advance organizers are instructional strategies that prepare students for new information by building connections to prior knowledge and providing organizational structure. They take away the surprise of new content by giving students cues about what they will learn. Different types of advance organizers include expository, graphic, narrative, and skimming organizers, each using different formats like outlines, stories, pictures, or previews to achieve these goals. Advance organizers help students focus on the new material and make connections between old and new information.
