TWICE News and Views

We have just sent out the match emails for all but about 55 Read Around the Planet partners. We’re still working on those so don’t give up hope!

Imperfect Matches

Each year, some of you are concerned about your match. So here’s the story.

We did our best!!! There were 1700 match requests. We could only work with the times and schools signed up. Now that they are matched, we can’t make any changes because we’re still busy working on the unmatched requests. It’s up to you now to make it a good experience.

Please please please, do your best to make it a good learning experience for everyone involved.  With everyone’s flexibility and positivity, this will be a great experience. We really, really appreciate those of you who work so hard to make this a success!

Here are some suggestions of what to do during your session:

• RAP Interaction Ideas
• RAP Photo Gallery
• Involving All Students
• Teacher Packet
  
• I Have a RAP Partner, Now What?

If you have additional ideas and suggestions for the actual interaction, please comment below. Thanks again for making this work!!

Tips for Arranging Test Calls

Kay Hauck shared this great tip last year:

Just a note to tech coordinators: When corresponding to set up test calls (and on all correspondence, for that matter) it is very helpful if you include the last names of the matched teachers in the subject line. Some of us are dealing with 40+ people and it gets a little tricky trying to keep everyone straight.

Still Working

We’re still working on those that aren’t matched yet, so don’t give up hope! Stay tuned, and read over the information to see if you can help us.

Also, we had a little snag with the CSV of all your matches & partners. It will be ready on Monday, February 2. You can find it in CAPspace on the Read Around the Planet page then.

Thank you to everyone who makes this project a success!
