An experiment in live online training
On Wednesday, May 20, from 11 - 11:50 a.m. EST, I'll be co-facilitating a live virtual workshop session as part of an online training hosted by the National Center for Summer Learning, which is based at the Johns Hopkins University School of Education. BELL Senior Site Manager Ameenah Reed and I will facilitate "The Buzz on Behavior: Positive & Practical Behavior Management Strategies for Summer Programs."
This daylong online training is a first for the National Center for Summer Learning, and it's exciting to be a part of it. The online conferencing platform used will be Adobe Connect, and there is room for up to 200 participants, who will interact via chat, polls, and emoticons. This is a new format for me, as I'm more accustomed to using WebEx Training Center for groups of up to 40 people, who interact in various ways. I look forward to letting you know how it goes.
If you're interested in trying out a virtual training like this one, registration includes a full-day online training for summer program staff, as well as one year's access to a recording of the training. Information is available here:

CSL conference workshop on BELL's Summer '08 program and training in Springfield
This Friday, April 17, I'll be co-presenting the workshop "The Transition Summer: BELL/Springfield Public Schools Rising 9th Grades Staff Training And Program Design" at the National Conference on Summer Learning in Chicago, with BELL's Chief Strategy Officer Carole Prest. The workshop will be from 2:30-4:00pm.
During the interactive workshop, we'll share lessons learned from building a new summer learning program for 8th grade students at risk for repeating the grade, including processes and outcomes. I'll also discuss BELL's training and demo BELL's e-learning, which won Training Magazine's Blended Learning and Performance Project of the Year for 2008.
This conference is hosted annually by the National Center for Summer Learning, which is based at the Johns Hopkins University School of Education. If you're planning on being there, I hope you'll attend our workshop and say hi!
