Adrian Dominican School of Education students Nicole Parke and Claudia Filimon recently presented a workshop at the 53rd Annual Florida Reading Association Conference in October. The students were joined by ADSOE professor Yvonne Campbell, PhD. Campbell.
The presentation, titled “How to Develop Effective Paragraph Writing for Answering Open-Ended Constructed Response Questions” was an interactive providing hands-on classroom strategies to help middle and secondary students develop effective paragraph writing while citing text evidence when answering open-ended constructed response questions.
“It was very rewarding to see these two stellar students expand their professional development beyond their program coursework,” said Campbell. “I always try to nurture my students to become the best professionals they can be and [Nicole and Claudia] are already brainstorming on our next academic conference presentation.”
Both Parke and Filimon are currently earning advanced degrees in the school of education. Parke is working toward her EdS in Reading and Filimon is a student in the MS in Reading program. Parke is a teacher at Pompano Beach Middle School and Filimon teaches at New River Middle School in Broward County. Both will graduate in spring 2016.
