Feedback about Literacy Builder Staff Development
We are always looking to improve our work with teachers so we ask for feedback at the end of each workshop and in-class demonstration cycle. Because we want teachers to share their honest opinions, feedback is always anonymous.Comments About In-Class Follow Up Demonstrations
“The demonstration lessons have been very helpful. I know you are coming each week so it forces me to stay on track with my goals.”
“I think the most important thing I have learned is the students dictate goals; the goals do not dictate students. In the past I have found I try to accomplish standards for fourth grade, this followed by that and so on.”
“Seeing you run a reader’s workshop made me realize there is so much more to teach the reader than just to be ready for the ELA. It also convinced me to reorganize my class library and it worked!”

Comments about Writer’s Workshop Training
“I enjoyed working through the writing process. It enabled me to gain better insight into the struggles my own students face.”“I love the energetic nature of the presenter. She loves what she does and that makes me love it more!”
“I wish the class was given over a longer period of time.”
Comments about Reader’s Workshop Training
“Reading is about how to teach your students to read. In class, students are not given enough time to read independently. Students will not become better readers unless they have DEAR time.”“I need to organize my class library to be more user friendly. There will be more share time and read alouds from now on!”
“I feel my students are already better readers. They are now reading independently longer than they have ever done before. I meet with my students in small groups each week and see such progress!”
