I'm a new teacher this year, and one of the reasons they hired me (I think) is because I use WBT. I don't use every little part of the system, as I'm a small group pullout teacher, but I use what works for me.

Long story short... we have a professional development on Monday on our campus, and our principal wants me to present for about 45 minutes. She wants me to show the pre-k and kinder teachers about WBT. So, my question is, what should I plan to show them? Obviously the basics like class/yes, teach/okay, and probably the scoreboard. But what else???

I usually teach upper elementary kids, so what are the most important parts of WBT as it pertains to pre-k and kinder? And what is a good amount to throw at them in only 45 min? I have not been formally trained on WBT, or even been to a workshop. They've just seen me using it, and want me to present.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Chris ... please do us all a favor and decline the offer to present. We want teachers to get the best possible version of what we do from expert practitioners, or to do as you have and learn online. We frequently run across misunderstandings about our technique and want to keep our method, at least in terms of who is presenting, as pure as possible. Please direct your principal and colleagues to our website, forum, free books, live webcasts and videos. Thanks!
