ANNOUNCEMENTS - Week 9

10 November 2000

  1. We are approaching the "stretch run" for the Fall 2000 DataStreme course. LIT members should begin reminding participants in their weekly discussions that the focus should be shifting to the participants' roles as resource teachers following the course. Next week in the Monday activity we will outline suggestions for participants to initiate their Plans of Action. You should also bring that requirement to their attention. Suggestions for the Plan of Action can also be found in the LIT Manual. They need to bring those Plans of Action to the final course meeting for discussion.

  2. Materials for distribution at the final course meeting are being shipped to LIT leaders this week. Included are multiple copies of Today's Weather, a study guide that participants may use in their role as resource teachers. The guide contains versions of four DataStreme activities that may be used in workshops with other teachers. The activities are designed to be used in conjunction with the DataStreme Homepage weather products. If leaders have not received their materials by Wednesday, 22 November, let us know immediately.
