UPDATE: Columbia Teachers College FREE Workshop tomorrow

is anybody else going to be there???

I am going with a few friends and I am very excited. Some of the key note speakers are amazing ( Lucy Calkins for one ).

I can not believe I am waking up at 6 am on my only day off for this, but I th ink it will be worth it.

ETS:

I had a great time. The workshops were not overcrowded this year. I had a seat in each of the four sessions I went to. I did not go to any by Calkins, her topics were not useful to my career. The last one I went to was with the VP of NCTE ( I am an English teacher so I was excited ) and it was AWESOME.


I am glad I went, but do not know if I'd make the trip again. Def will check out some of their summer programs though.

That to me would be a nightmare! Nobody I want to smack silly more than Lucy. But have fun!

I went last year and honestly, it wasn't worth it. I don't know if you've ever been to one, but it's PACKED. I had to sit on the floor and couldn't even see the screen with the notes. And honestly, each workshop barely scratched the surface of what it is they were about. IMO, the institutes over the summer are great, but they're not free. Good luck with it!
