 * Support students in your classrooms and pay attention to WICOR strategies.

Upcoming:

 * Follow up on the email you received regarding completing a LiveText account. This is the platform that will be used to assess your work in classrooms. Please do this today, so Shannan can build your profile.
 * Due Thursday - 9/29 - Write your student profile and post it to Blackboard - Directions are on the "youth study" project description you received in 241. If you were not able to interview both of your students, you can postpone your profile until Monday 10/3.
 * Write a half-page introduction to the child you will be studying. The profile should be informed by your initial student interview. Include responses to these questions:
 * What is the first name, age, and grade of your focal student?
 * What do you know so far about this student? What are his/her strengths and resources?
 * What intrigues you about this student?
 * What are this student’s goals and needs? How can you imagine supporting him/her?
 * What specific questions do you have about and for him/her?
 * Bring the article on discourse to continue discussing during our professional seminar on 9/29.
