Conference Talk...

After reading an excerpt from the book “Teaching on Equity” by Carol Tateishi over lunch, we spent the early afternoon on discussing the implications for our site and the upcoming Jan. conference. Tateishi discusses her Teacher Research Program developed out of the Bay Area Writing Project. It presents a model of where Cindy would like us to eventually be as a writing project when it comes to teacher research (this seems to one our weaknesses as a site).

As the discussion of how possible it will be and the AI’s position within the establishment of the TR Groups, we eventually got into the guts of the AI goals… the Jan. Conference.

We then stepped into the argument phase, often created by Rebecca starting something and sitting quietly pretending she had nothing to do with it.
