The traveling day was fairly uneventful and without bumps! No delays, no missed connections, no lost luggage!
The Sheraton Suites near Galleria in Houston is quite comfortable. I have a king suite, which is quite nice indeed. I have set up the office and unpacked; it is home for the next 6 days.
I promised that this would not be a travel blog with pictures of everything I eat and tourist information! If you want that, friend me on facebook.
Today begins at 7:30 at the convention center. I have a three day pre-conference session titled "Teaching up for Equity and Excellence in Education." I chose this because I feel that refining our differentiation practices at North Side is the next big step. We are getting proficient at differentiating articles and readings by Lexile level, but what comes next? Stay tuned.
I have a few time slots that I have selected several sessions and can't decide. I will post them here. Let me know what you think we need at NSHS!
1. Grit, Mind-Set, and Determination: The Key to Perseverance or Mobilize Me: Engaging Digital Age Learners
2. Boys At-Risk:A Schoolwide Game Plan for Reversing the Trend, Brain Scans to Lesson Plans: Applying the Latest Research to the Classroom, Now THAT'S a Good Question: Developing Questions for Cognitive Rigor
I'll post more conflicts tonight. These are for Saturday sessions!
Have a wonderful day. I'll post what I learn today after dinner.
