On December 15, Woodland Middle School hosted a workshop entitled “Circle of Power and Respect,” led by renowned middle school educator, Dr. Nancy Doda. This was the second in a series of five workshops that are being held at Woodland.
Dr. Doda completed her Masters and Ph.D. at the University of Florida, specializing in Middle School Teacher Education. At the workshop, she presented best instructional strategies and teaching practices, and focused on the areas of interdisciplinary learning, teaming, and the importance of Social Emotional Literacy (SEL) at the middle school level.
Participants in the workshop were part of the Nassau County Middle Level Collegial Workshop. Schools taking part in the workshop included Clarke Middle School, Long Beach Middle School, Sewanhaka Junior High School, and Woodland Middle School. The teams were comprised of teachers and administrators. In addition, 12 Woodland students, four from each grade level, participated in several character education activities that fostered social, communication, team building, and other skills, facilitated by Dr. Doda.
