Fairy tales are an important part of childhood. Fairy tales excite learners of all ages with the magical elements, mythical creatures, and happily-ever-afters. Fairy tales can be used to inspire various writing activities, introduce students to other cultures, analyze patterns, reflect on universal themes and motifs, and learn about the way people lived in the past. In this presentation, Shelly Sanchez Terrell will share with you the rich history behind fairy tales, lesson ideas, and web tools and apps to have fun with fairy tale characters and plots. These activities are for learners of all ages.

She has trained teachers and taught learners in over 20 countries as an invited guest expert by organizations, like UNESCO Bangkok, the Venezuelan-US Embassy, Cultura Inglesa of Brazil, the British Council in Tel Aviv, IATEFL Slovenia, EduTECH Australia, and HUPE Croatia. She has been recognized by the ELTon Awards, The New York Times, NPR, and Microsoft’s Heroes for Education as a leader in the movement of teacher driven professional development as the founder and organizer of various online conferences, Twitter chats, MOOCs, and webinars. Recently, she was named Woman of the Year by the National Association of Professional Women, awarded a Bammy Award as a founder of #Edchat, and named as one of the 10 Most Influential People in EdTech by Tech & Learning. Her latest project is the creation of Edspeakers to enrich the field of education with passionate voices (spoken and written) from those of diverse experiences and backgrounds.

Shelly has an Honors BA in English with a Minor in Communication and a specialization in Electronic Media from UTSA, a Masters in Curriculum Instruction ESL from the University of Phoenix, and a CELTA from CELT Athens. Her greatest joy is being the mother of Savannah Duncan-Sanchez and Rosco the pug.

A New Spin on PD

Location: Blackboard Collaborate

Professional development is an important part of our lives as educators, but often it falls short of meeting our needs. Too often we find ourselves in "sit and git" sessions where we have to listen to information that seems irrelevant with no way to personalize the experience to make it relevant. Fortunately, there are many educators who are working to change that type of PD experience, and our special guest for this week's webinar, Dennine Leschinsky, has some very exciting ideas to share with us for alternatives to traditional PD. Join us to hear Dennine's "New Spin on PD."

Webinar Description:
If you build it, they will come. PD in our district has evolved to include new designs including the implementation of a learning lounge, empower hour and breakFAST. Each offers a unique spin on PD which begins with district and building initiatives and is driven by teacher choice. Each has similar components of a learning lounge. Clearly defined, a learning lounge is a place where educators can come together to learn and collaborate about instructional content and practices. It is a relaxed, interactive environment, much like that of a craft fair or flea market where shoppers browse and converse with vendors about their wares. Our goal is to allow our teachers to have a comfort level with some of the instructional practices prior implementation. Empower hour is a structure much like an EdCamp where teachers are empowered to share strategies or technology tools with other teachers. This has replaced our faculty meetings. BreakFAST is a type of PD we used to strengthen our teacher’s use of a new formative assessment screening tool we implemented this year. This session is perfect for anyone who plans professional development or faculty meetings.

Dennine Leschinsky is in her 22nd year in education. As a certified Reading Specialist and veteran teacher, Dennine owns and operates an Early Intervention agency called, Connective Interventions Services where she supervises and designs professional development for 30 staff members. In addition, Dennine’s experience as an educator includes teaching preschool, first, second, and third grades, as well as serving as a Literacy and Technology Coach for grades 6-8.

Currently, Dennine is the Instructional Specialist at Wescosville Elementary School in the East Penn School District. In this role, she provides instructional coaching and also serves as a school-based MTSS coordinator. Dennine works collaboratively with district level administration to plan systemic professional development experiences. Additionally, she has presented at several local and state conferences spanning her career. Dennine is grateful to Peg Volak, former colleague from Pennridge School District and current board member for Classroom 2.0 , for this exciting opportunity. She looks forward to sharing some of her favorite PD spins with you today!
