Over on Ms. Frizzle, Ms. Frizzle has an entry about a mandatory in-service session on violence prevention. She expresses surpise at learning that the workshop was not about preventing violence between students, but about preventing violence toward teachers and then goes on to describe the session. The description reminded me of many in-service sessions I’ve seen; they are so often a combination of entertainment and…and…clich´, Banality? Emptiness? Pablum? Mz. Frizzle’s report is a good quick read.

John, I have a post brewing on how the gospel of “the three cuing systems” in reading became an article of faith, mostly from one-day or half-day inservice education. The conventional wisdom has the edge.
Liz, a post on the three-cuing system would be wonderful. I hope you have access to Marilyn Adams\’ marvelous examination of it:
Adams, M. J. (1998). The three-cueing system. In F. Lehr & J. Osborn (Eds.), Literacy for all issues in teaching and learning (pp. 73-99). New York Guilford.
Let me know if you don\’t have it.
