Where in the World?

Where in the world does professional development take Woods' teachers? This time it took Mrs. Piwko and Mrs. Gerber to LasVegas where they joined several thousand other teachers to learn more about reading and writing at the National Council of Teachers of English Conference. Mrs Piwko concentrated on middle school topics while Mrs. Gerber learned more about using authors and illustrators as mentors for young writers as well as using iPads and e-books in the classroom.  Both were mesmerized by all the new books displayed by publishers.  Their suitcases were very heavy on the return flight!

" The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes."                                                                                Marcel Proust
