[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 16487, member: 179"] (My dad sent me this. I'm going to give it a try! Only a teacher would understand the joy of inservices.) HOW TO STAY AWAKE IN TEACHER INSERVICES: OFFERED AS A PUBLIC SERVICE... Do you keep falling asleep in teacher meetings and inservices? Here's a way to change all of that: 1. Before (or during) your next meeting, inservice, or staff development, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5"x 5" is a good size. 2. Divide the card into columns - five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch blocks. 3. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block: * no child left behind * test scores * core competencies * communication * standards * multiple exposures * benchmarks * proactive * win-win * think outside the box * action plan * result-driven * assessments * knowledge base * at the end of the day * touch base * mindset * differentiated * retention * skills * background knowledge * effective learning * exemplars * implementation * reflection 4. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases. 5. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally stand up and shout "BULLS**T!" TESTIMONIALS from satisfied "Bulls**t Bingo" players: -- "I had been in the meeting for only five minutes when I won." - Adam W., Atlanta -- "My attention span at inservices has improved dramatically." - David T., Orlando -- "What a gas! Staff development will never be the same for me after my first win." - Dan J., New York City -- "The atmosphere was tense in the last inservice as 14 of us waited for the fifth box." - Ben G, Denver -- "The speaker was stunned as eight of us screamed 'BULLS**T!' for the third time in two hours. -- "The Bulls**t Bingo Championship will be played at the next inservice." -Rod H., Nashville [/QUOTE]
