Today I worked from home and was very productive.
I hammered out a powerpoint presentation on Balanced Reading instruction and thought through some key points and tough questions. I did some reading on preschool education and the transition to school-- it made me think more about WHO teaches, especially in the early elementary grades. Now I'm reading about California's policies regarding CELDT and ELLs. I was surprised to learn that the ELL testing program was initiated in 1999- which seems so recent and explains the dearth of research on this very important topic! I know I should review and practice my presentation, but I also want to squeeze in some rest and relaxation tonight.
About Me
- Sarah Woulfin
I am a doctoral student at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Education. Prior to grad school, I was a teacher and reading coach. My hobbies include running, cooking, playing with our cat, Amiga, and watching movies. Special acknowledgments to my husband, Jeff, for maintaining my sanity and joy. He's willing to save me from grizzly bears and sweetly fries bacon for me!

Your day sounds so interesting Sarah! We had a policy group meeting (my group from Bruce's class), and I had a research group meeting with Cynthia. Now turning to Stats Project that is due Thursday. Ugh!
I might have to steal your "productivity" category--that's a really good one! I sort-of captured it in the "Ups and Downs of Ph.D. study" category, but I like productivity better. So much of what we do in grad school is learning to manage our own productivity, isn't it?!
