Denise Sanford Interview

Denise Sanford's Words of Wisdom

I attended the Abydos  Training of Reading Specialist (TORS) today.  I asked Denise if she wouldn't mind granting me an interview.  I saw her presentation on Saturday at the Abydos Conference in Houston.  She was spectacular.  I learned so much about how to use Graphica with students, especially boys.  She had done a year long study using a professional book that she mentions in the video.  I will post more about her session.  I think we can learn much from Denise's experience.  Enjoy!

Abydos Training of Reading Specialist (TORS) Reflection

Training of Reading Specialist (TORS) by Abydos-Pics and Reflections

Today's day two Training of Reading Specialist by Abydos and Dr. Joyce Carroll was nothing short of spectacular.  Every time I attend a session I leave renewed, rejuvenated and ready to read, research and try out so many of the strategies that we experience together.  I am so thankful to be receiving this training.  I work with great educators from other districts in the area, as well as from my district.  Dr. Joyce is so knowledgeable.  She builds on our knowledge and experiences.  The day is fully packed with tons to learn and apply.  We started the day synthesizing Rosenblatt's Transactional Theory. Dr. Joyce had us make a Moebuis (I am not sure I spelled it correctly) to help explain how we understand Rosenblatt. Wow!  That was pure genius!  I will post more because it's late and I want to get some rest for tomorrow.  I also interviewed two great women educators.   That was also fun. Because I am having such a great time with the interviews, I think I will conduct a lot more, tons more.  It's fun with Window's Movie Maker.

Here are my pics from today!  Enjoy!
