SNAP Protocol 1. The group reads the text silently, highlighting it and writing notes in the margin or on post-it notes in answer to the following four prompts:S - Summary of the textN - New learning; include as many key ideas as neededA - Information the reader(s) already knew about the topicP - A picture that represents an important aspect of the text
2. In the first round, have each person share a summary or gist statement of the text.
3. Continue in rounds in which the group talks about the text in light of each of the remaining categories. Try to move seamlessly from one talking point to the next, giving each point enough time for full exploration.
4. End the session with an open discussion framed around the question: “What does this mean for our work with students?”

Principles for Savoring Summer
Designed by Carol Varsalona, ELA Consultant, [email protected], May 7, 2014
Principles for Savoring Summer
By Carol Ann Tomlinson
To be an architect for summer consider 3 principles:
1.Teach better when I grow as a learner myself
1.I continue to grow as a person and a professional when I study my profession
1.I make wiser decisions when I have an ethical north star
Living by these principles requires a 4th: I must make time to live by these principles. Teaching will not make the time for me.
