In our school district, SPA stand for Summer Professional Academy. We are really privileged that not only does our district offer trainings over the summer - some really great trainings - but they also pay us to attend these trainings!! Today I attended Interdisciplinary Literacy for the Common Core. I'll begin by saying that it was AWESOME. I have taken several classes on literacy and Common Core, so I was prepared to hear a lot of repeated information. Not so! The presenter was Lin Kuzmich and she is AMAZING! Also, I will add (with affection) that it was like listening to my Auntie from Buffalo all day :-). I learned so many things that I could start using tomorrow...okay, in August. The best part (for me, anyway) was that she was so intentional to point out how to use strategies and techniques in kindergarten. I cannot tell you how many conferences and trainings that I have attended that didn't apply to kindergarten - at all. I would definitely recommend anything from Lin - and our school has already booked her to come back in January.
