• English Department Head, Jeff Stachura, recently attended the American Studies Association’s annual meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Jeff was part of a panel that included teachers from The Asheville School, Oyster River High School, and The Howard School. Their presentation, “Visions and Revisions: How to Build a High School American Studies Program” was sponsored by the ASA’s K-16 collaboration committee giving Jeff an opportunity to spend time working with high school teachers and college educators from across the country.
• Melton Weekley and Preschool teachers Libby Carson, Beth West, Deena Eberhardt, Ellen Cunningham, and Cindy Boerma attended the popular Handwriting Without Tears workshop, a handwriting program based on developmentally appropriate practices using a multisensory approach. Teachers learned about the developmental stages of the handwriting process, techniques to incorporate into their teaching, and the most effective ways to correct handwriting errors.
• Middle School Language Arts teachers Alice Ann Colley and Margaret Wellborn attended a workshop in Atlanta on the importance and craft of reading aloud to Middle School students led by nationally renowned author and speaker Dr. Jim Trelease. Because this presentation was part of his last public tour before his retirement, it has caused much interest across the country among educators.
