Description
This DVD includes a 14 minute uninterrupted classroom episode followed by an in-depth interview with the featured teacher providing thoughtful and provocative responses to the reflective questions asked. Short classroom scenes enhance the interview. The DVD focuses on Sheri VanderVelde’s 4th and 5th grade multi-age classroom, where students are engaged in Writer’s Workshop. The class includes four special needs learners, an English language learner who recently moved from Mexico, four gifted and talented learners who are working two to three years above grade level, and three new students whose families recently moved into the neighborhood.
