On April 16th, I attended the Manaiakalani Teacher Only Day. The professional development focus for the day was on literacy - and reading in particular. I attended three well run sessions with highly knowledgeable presenters. My chosen workshops were: Enhancing Reading with Explain Everything; Effective Reading Practise; and T-shaped Literacy for Juniors.
I found the workshops helpful for some areas where i am focussing on my teaching practice. For example, I now use Explain Everything in my reading program when I see my reading groups and this is helpful for creating reading response tasks and also helps my efficiency and preparing resources and materials for my students. I feel I have a more digitally enhanced and more effective teaching practice based on attending this Teacher Only Day.
