2015-2016 WCJC Membership Closed

While we will still be accepting single meeting applications, membership for 7 CE meeting opportunities for the year are now closed.  Any members who started in our later January meeting will be able to attend make-up sessions during the summer.  As always, everyone interested is welcome to join these meetings as well as the meetings for March and April.  Further details of the summer schedule will be posted in the spring.

Thanks so much to our ongoing membership for WCJCs inaugural year!

February Bibliography Set

Due to the shortness of the month, we already have our articles chosen for next week's meeting.  Thanks to everyone for their feedback.  Head to the bibliography page for all of the materials for February.

January Journals and a Calendar Update

Articles for January have been chosen on the subject ASD and Teaching.  Head over to the bibliography page to find the links to JABA and to the needed note-taking sheet.  Also, please note some incoming updates to the Jefferson meeting calendar as various school-year meetings begin to impact many of our members' schedules.  Fortunately, the weekend Shrewsbury group should see no more updates for the rest of the year's meetings.  No promises though!

January Survey Out!

Hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays and is preparing for an excellent New Year.

The survey for articles for the January meeting can be found here with the corresponding abstracts here.

Please choose what you'd like to read in January on the topic of Autism Spectrum Disorders and teaching.  The link will be open until next Tuesday so please vote as soon as you can.  The final January bibliography will be posted on Tuesday, January 5.

If you've been interested in joining the group, registration is always open.  If we can get enough people to start the new year, we'll be able to run additional sessions in the spring and summer to make sure we give everyone a chance to collect the full 7 CEs for the year.  A full FAQ can be found on the website.

Remember to email me if you have any questions.

Happy Holidays!

The Worcester County Journal Club is taking December off for some R+R.  Hopefully, you're all able to do the same.  Our 2nd session will be starting in January so keep an eye on your inbox for the January article survey.  If you haven't yet registered and are worried that you've missed the fall, good news: we'll be holding a few summer sessions to catch up recent registrants in the year's articles.  That means that if you register for the full year ($25) you can still make up the full 7 CEs worth of content.  But, this only lasts through the January meeting so, if you've been on the fence, now's a great time to register for the year.  Exact summer catch-up meetings will be scheduled sometime in January/February.

So, until January, to our current members and to anyone who has visited one of our meetings, Happy Holidays.

Sunday Meeting - 11/22/15

Sunday's meeting has grown past our original venue so we'll be moving to a new location: Panera Bread in Marlborough.

The meeting will begin at 10am on Sunday the 22nd at Panera Bread in the R.K. Centre Plaza, 197 Boston Post Rd W, Marlborough.  If you haven't already done so, please register so I know who to expect and so that there's no delay in processing your CEs after the meeting.  Remember, to receive credit for attending you must have read the articles and bring a completed note-taking sheet with you.  Files can be found here in the "November" section of the bibliography.

Some folks have asked about the possibility of using Skype to attend.  I will be looking into the feasibility of tele-attending for the January meeting as I would love to open the WCJC up to folks across both Massachusetts and the globe!

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

November Articles Chosen

Hi, all.  Sorry for the late update.  The November articles are chosen and are updated on the bibliography page.  There you can get links to the articles and download a syllabus for the month as well as the note taking sheet.  If you're still unregistered, feel free to join us.  After November, pricing for the year will be updated.  While our goal is to do a few catch up sessions to get as many people as possible their full seven CEs for the year, there will only be one or two additional opportunities in the spring so act now!

Please email me if you have any issues accessing the articles or the files themselves.
