Tools of the Mind PreK Workshop at Wallace

On Monday, August 24th over 125 PreK teachers, assistants, and project directors participated in an all day workshop for the implementation of the PreK/K curriculum entitled Tools of the Mind. This is the beginning of the second year of implementation for the PreK students in our district. The workshop was led by Ms. Amy Hornbeck and topics included theoretical underpinnings of Tools of the Mind, implementation strategies, setting up the classroom learning environment, discussion of self regulated activity, and reflection of last year's successes and challenges. The workshop was coordinated by Early Childhood Supervisor Jessica Peters and Administrative Assistant Ms. Nellie Moyeno. The gathering was originally to be held at Brandt School but due to the excessive heat was moved to the Wallace Gym. Thanks for all those who made the quick move possible.  -Dr. Petrosino
