2015-2016 LNW Sign Up NOW OPEN!

Thank you for completing the survey to help us meet LNW needs for next year.  The 2015-2016 LNW calendar has been set and you can register to attend below.

As we enter our third year of "Literacy the Nixa Way" (LNW) professional development, perhaps the biggest change is that attending LNW sessions is optional for teachers who have fully implemented reader's and writer's workshop.  All teachers are encouraged to attend two regular sessions (calendar linked above).  First year teachers and new-to-Nixa teachers are required to attend all four LNW sessions.  Second year teachers are highly encouraged to attend all four sessions.

There will be two LNW sessions offered this year. The first session will focus on Reading Workshop. The second session will focus on Writing Workshop. Each training session will be one full day and if you choose to attend, a substitute will be provided for you.

To register for one or both of the sessions, complete the Google form HERE.  Registration will CLOSE on Friday, August 21st at 4:00 PM.

• All PreK-1 sessions will be held at High Pointe Elementary from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm in Room 316 (Dr. Cindy Owens).  
• All 2-6 sessions will be held at Faught Administration Center in the Community Room from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm.

LNW YEAR #3 - What the Sessions Will Look Like - Survey

As we prepare to enter our third year of LNW, we are excited that reading and writing workshop is in full swing in all classrooms.  For next year, the scheduling of LNW PD sessions will look a little different.  Perhaps the biggest change for next year will be that attending LNW sessions will be optional. 

There will be two LNW sessions offered to teachers next year.  (First year teachers will receive additional training.)  The first session will take place at the end of October/beginning of November.  This session will focus on Reading Workshop.  The second session will take place in February/March and will focus on Writing Workshop.  Each training session will be one full day and if you choose to attend, a substitute will be provided for you.

In order for us to prepare a schedule of sessions, we need an idea of how many teachers are interested in each of the sessions.  If you are interested in attending one or both LNW sessions for next year, please complete THIS SURVEY.  Specific details will be available at the beginning of next year.
