About this Project

• This project uses video streaming technology to allow teachers to see demonstrations of summarizing strategies in elementary and secondary classes in various subject areas. The teachers who participated in this initial stage of the project (10 online videos) are novice teachers who graciously allowed us to tape their lessons and reflections on teaching.
• CD-ROM and DVD versions of the lessons will be available by the end of September for use by MCPS staff.
• For more information on this project, contact David Kreisberg (david_kreisberg@fc.mcps.k12.md.us).

Web Resources

• Guilford County Public Schools (NC) - this site has a wealth of excellent materials on summarizers and activators.
