Treats, too!
Bring a colleague and your best idea relating to teaching
listening, reading, authentic materials, or teaching LD students. Maybe
you use technology in an innovative way or you have a good idea about
assessment that you think might interest others. Do you teach narrative
writing well or use art to engage your students in language learning?
Bring your idea and a few copies to pass and we’ll have an informal idea
exchange.
Look for other professional development opportunities in the spring. We
are looking at a couple of options for two sessions during the second
semester, 2007.
The AWL has some very good news!
AWL is the very grateful recipient of a generous gift
of $2,000 from the Albert Olson Charitable Trust. Vickie
Richmond-Hawkins came up with this “bright idea” at our meeting on
October 23rd and proceeded to make some phone calls the following day.
The Albert Olson Charitable Trust was set up by Albert Olson, Vickie’s
grandmother’s brother and generally donates to performing arts and youth
activities in the Tomahawk area.
The check will be written to the Community Foundation of North Central
Wisconsin and they will administrate our funds, just as they did for our
former grant.
Julie Bunczak, Shar Soto, Kathy Spencer and Mary Nell Reif will begin
work in November on a presentation and materials for a project
addressing the benefits of language learning.
A heartfelt thank-you to Vickie for thinking of AWL and for taking the
necessary steps to make this donation possible. I have assured her we
will be good stewards of the money.
