First, I would make it 45 minutes because Ms. Flora emailed me back this afternoon and told me I would penalized again for this assignment if I didn't shorten it to 45 minutes. At the fifth activity, you have participants imagine they are learning material in another language - I would start the entire staff development in a different language the teachers don't know. If you couldn't do that, I would find someone who could give the introduction and directions in a foreign language and watch the confused looks on the teachers faces. Next, "since this is pretend anyway", I would change step one to analyze the RPTE II tests results to see percentage gain per grade level, and to see if there is a grade level that has a higher percentage gain and reasons why that could be. At step 3, I would show example of each kind of software. And step 4, maybe show programs do the training in a computer lab, so teachers can play or setup time after the staff development for exploration. That may have been what you were after with having them post information to a wiki At step 8, You could do a 3 circle Venn Diagram to show cultural difference between whites, blacks, and hispanics. And thenn, I would cut the short plays because you are limited on time.

I am goin to eat something and then see if I can figure out what I want to do for part 2. I hope this helps you get started with part 1. Meritte -
