TEACHER SHARE
Here's a cooperative strategy for the blog. When I ask teachers what they'd like PD on or how I can support them, they often mention the difficulties of managing multi-level classrooms. Cooperative learning structures naturally lend themselves to multi-level groups; here's a reading strategy along with adaptations about how to use it with multi-level students.
Thanks,

A-B Each Teach (Partner Jigsaw)
Grouping structure: Partners; Partners → Small groups
Main modality or function: Reading, Speaking
Suggested WIPEAR segment(s): Practice
Adaptations for multi-level classrooms: Pre-plan partnerships for like-ability pairs; use different leveled texts for different like-ability pairs; pre-plan different-ability pairs and use different texts for each person; use a time goal (rather than a must-finish-the-text-
A-B Each Teach is a shared reading strategy for processing information as participants read. A-B partners may be designated in any number of ways (example: pre-ordained by teacher, shoulder partners, stand-up hand-up pair-up, numbers/letters in the corner of handouts, etc.).
The strategy works like this. Pairs designate one partner as A and one as B. Person A reads one section of the text. Person B reads another section of the text. When both are ready, they teach their section to their partner. Variations of this strategy include: Pairs conclude by developing a summary of the text or pairs join another pair and develop another summary.
TEACHER READING

CLASSROOM SHOWCASE
Hope the week went well for everyone. Sharing photos from today's WIOA class at Harlem. I used an activity from the CUNY Career Toolkit and students researched their job sector. They had to search for job description, education needed, location (NYC), and average salary.
Thanks,

Please send me pictures, and be sure to include the branch name and level.
I need them by the end of the business day on Wednesday.
I already have enough submissions for the week-
that just means your pictures will be published the next week.
Personally, I think the pictures that you share are the best part of the blog.

Dear Colleagues,
The Library will be upgrading its payroll time and attendance system to eTime Version 8.0 on June 21, 2018.
To help everyone get ready for eTime version 8.0, all employees will be required to complete two training modules in Bridge, the Library’s online training platform. The first training module will guide you through the registration process for NetSecure, ADP’s Security Management System. You must be registered in NetSecure in order to access eTime version 8.0. The NetSecure training will be assigned to all staff on May 22, 2018 and must be completed no later than June 2, 2018.
The second training module will help to get you familiar with the new user interface of eTime version 8.0. This training will be assigned to all staff on June 5, 2018 and must be completed no later than June 20, 2018.
Once the training modules are assigned, you will receive email notifications directly from Bridge.
Managers, please ensure all supervisory personnel that report to you complete the training modules by the respective deadline dates.
I strongly encourage everyone to complete both training modules as soon as they are assigned. If you require assistance with NetSecure registration, please contact the Library’s IT Help Desk at 212-621-0500 (x40500).
