MRVED Business

Music Teachers Meet
The Music teachers gathered at the MRVED on Wednesday, October 7 for their annual best practice meeting.  As usual the day was filled with great discussion and awesome ideas were shared all around.  The morning was centered around grading practices and a "standards audit".  The afternoon consisted of lots of sharing and planning for MELT.  Overall, it was a great day with a great bunch of educators!

MELT Call for Presentation Proposals
It is that time of the year again!  Time to start looking for teachers to present at the MELT (MRVED Educators Learning Together) Conference in January.  The past few years we have had some great presentations by our local teachers.  Hopefully this year can be better yet.  Last year, there were over 90 sessions to choose from throughout the day with about 1/4 of them being led by local teachers.  My goal is to get to 50% led by local educators.  This is a great opportunity to share some of the awesome and unique things going on in your classroom.  If you would like to present, please fill out the form (linked below).  If you know of someone that would do an awesome job, encourage them to present.
Payment:
  • $100 - Present one, 1-hour session
  • $150 - Present the same 1-hour session twice
  • $150 - Present one, 2-hour session
  • $200 - Present two different 1-hour sessions
Please Note:
  • If you want to present as a team, only one proposal needs to be made.  The person that makes the proposal will be the contact person for that group.
  • Submitting a proposal does not commit you to presenting.  You are only providing the MRVED with information that you are interested in presenting.
  • Brandon will contact you by the end of October if your session was selected.
  • You may fill out more than one proposal.
Possible Session Ideas:
  • Cross-Curricular Projects
  • School Readiness
  • SMART Training
  • CPI
  • Teaching Vocabulary
  • 6+1 Traits of Writing
  • Writing in the Elementary
  • Daily 5
