ATTENTION ALL: Praxis Boot Camp

Hello to all!

The schedule is as follows for the PRAXIS boot camp this summer:

• Friday, June 1 - Math
• Friday, June 8 - Writing
• Friday, June 15 - Reading

Here are some details for the day:

• 8:30-2:30 each day 
• Focus on the topic/assessment for that day
• Bring lunch as we will keep right on working
• Meet in the Education Building - B-03

Materials we will use:

• PRAXIS Practice code - Brenda will give to you that day, let her know if you would like it before
• PRAXIS test code - Ask Jen Heid for a code so that you can schedule your test that day.
• ETS Resources and Study Guide
• Khan Academy
• Mindfulness/relaxation for test anxiety! :)

Please let me know if you are able to attend so I will have an idea of numbers for each day. If you have already passed that test, you do not need to attend that day.

See you there!

Brenda

Project Sage Noon Meeting

We will be meeting today (Jan. 31) at noon in the Building 61 conference room. This is upstairs from Security, on the second floor. Pizza will be served so you don't have to bring lunch.

The Project Sage grant requires us to bring "scholars" (their term for you, the participants) together on a regular basis. We've scheduled these meeting every month in the past and have found it helps keep us moving forward, as a cohort (group), if we connect to answer questions, provide encouraging words, or just have lunch together.

Attendance will be taken at this noon meeting, as at all of them. Join us to get updates on professional development opportunities (conferences you can attend), your student support payment, info on the dreaded Praxis, and so on.

If you are receiving an email with this message, you are invited to join us. See you at noon!

Fall 2017 Semester Update

The fall 2017 semester is off and rolling!

Student Support

Please be sure to schedule your Praxis Core test(s) as soon as possible. We will process the $3000 student support payment for the fall as soon as you've scheduled your tests. If you schedule the test(s), let us know and then watch your student account because it should be in your account shortly afterwards.

Informational Meeting

We are going to be having an informational meeting for new Project Sage participants (scholars) this next week on Wednesday, Sept. 27, at noon in Room 111 in the Education Building. Lunch will be served. If you know of any new students this fall that are interested in the bachelor degree in Elementary Education, let them know about this meeting.

Fall Educators Conference

For those of you who signed up to attend the Fall Educators Conference on Oct. 11 - 13 in Bismarck, payment for your registration has been mailed. This is a great conference and an opportunity to engage with a community of professional educators. Leah, Brenda and Lezlie are attending, too.

Have a great semester. We'll be in touch!
