PSU one card

Not that it really matters..... but I received my PSU One card yesterday in the mail... With that I guess I can now take advantage of student discounts... But it is still hard to prove without a photo on it. I can get a dollar off at the Salem Cinema! That is cool!! Amtrak also has a student fare!! I can go visit my sister for less!!! :) See all the advantages!

Framework for Teaching - Danielson

A Framework for Teaching Enhancing Professional Practice by Charlotte Danielson - Found this - NOT NEW but didn't want to lose the link... I was looking around at other district's and what jobs are out there... Interesting the web presence and what that tells you about the district.

Call for Presentations - Would you like to come and present your wisdom to Salem Keizer Teaches?

Would any of you like to come to Salem Keizer to present a topic that would inspire our teachers to do great things? It would be a great way for you to practice your own presentations in a small arena or get your name out there as a tallented and valuable professional!

On June 17th - Salem Keizer is having a 1 day (4 session) Teacher workshop day.

There are four sessions - each is 90 minutes
You could present one topic multiple times or up to four different topics (who is crazy enough to do that?)

If you present the same topic more than once you get paid for 4 hours of prep and 1.5 for each time you present it.

If you present different topics then you are paid the prep and presentation time for each topic. (Clear as mud? Send me your questions)

Lunch is included for presenters. The four sessions are (1) 8:15 (2) 9:55 (3) 12:15 (4)1:55 (lunch is at 11:25).

Lunch will be a Tom Hewitt rendition of the teacher perspective of "Smarty Pants." Be prepared to laugh! He will be great!!!

For your application: Send the following information to me, Carol Roberts and John Weeks at Curriculum:

Name:
School:
Title of Presentation:
Primary Focus: Primary, Intermediate, Middle, High
Number of presentations (one 90 minute session or two? Three?)
Equipment needed

Brief Description of your session:

*** A new application needs to be sent for each topic.

Send me any questions you may have!!! :)

As an outside presentor I think the money would be a little different... We would come up with a contract that is a little different than the above... Talk with me if you have ideas that you think would be helpful!

Deadline for applications are April 1st... Talk with you next week. Call me if you have questions.
