HINDSIGHT IS 20/20
Anita Moultrie Turner, Instructional Specialist and Adjunct Professor, California State University (CSULA), Los Angeles
Join Anita Moultrie Turner, our closing keynote speaker, for this session that explores how support providers look at the work of beginning teachers through formative assessments. Identify techniques and strategies that build a support provider’s repertoire of formative assessments that help to develop their beginning teacher’s best practices through ongoing observations in their classrooms. Engaging and hands-on activities in the workshop will give support providers a chance to “experience” the elements of effective teaching practices that can be shared with their beginning teachers. This workshop embraces the line of thought that support providers should know at the onset of their visits to teachers what “lens” they should be wearing to provide the best “prescription” to support their beginning teachers.

“P.T.Q.” (Practiced Teaching Quick Tips!)
Imetra Joiner, Classroom Teacher/Mentor; Barbara Carlson, Classroom Teacher/Former Support Provider, Oakmont Elementary School, Claremont USD
“P.T.Q.” or Practiced Teaching Quick Tips is a lively refresher session of great teaching practices that support providers can share with their PTs quickly for classroom zest. These ageless practices require little preparation but are lifesavers for PTs who are in survival mode, or who are simply wishing to add a “new school” twist to “old school” methods.
