We did a turn and talk check in and watched the video for 30 min.
Then we did "Last Word" in partners to discuss a significant thought from the video today.


 
We checked in, watched the video and did a writing protocol. 
 
Watched 20 minutes of the Gordon Neufeld video on Anxiety. Shared quick writes from last day and wrote new responses about what resonated with us today and what questions we had.

 
Second meeting went well. People shared personally where we were at in our own lives and it helped us understand how varied and sometimes extreme the circumstances in our own "anxious" students' lives can be. Watched 10 minutes of Dr. Neufeld's  "Making Sense of Anxiety" DVD and did a quick write and a pair share.
 
We will be watching a video (4 hr course) on Anxiety and Youth with Dr Gordon Neufeld. We will be conducting a group inquiry using the strategies form the video course in our classroom with students who are at risk for anxiety issues. Teachers will be journaling what they are noticing as they implement the strategies with one or two students in the class (qualitative data) and as well a few teachers will be collecting attendance which will be part of the quantitative data.
