The teachers at Paxton School spent their PLC time last Wednesday with staff developer, Steve Peha. One of the Paxton school improvement initiatives is to increase writing skills. In order to strengthen writing for students, teachers learned about the writing workshop model. As educators we talk a lot about best practices, ways to reach our students so that they attain learning goals. The writing workshop model is a best practice strategy that can have a positive impact on students’ writing attitudes as well as performance on tests. Mr. Peha also worked with students on Thurday and Friday while teachers observed. Thank you to Jennifer Day and Mr. Searcey for coordinating this event. We know that this professional development will constructively influence student learning. Hats off to Paxton staff! Steve said that the Paxton teachers had the best questions from any teaching staff in a couple of years!
