|
| Classroom Management: Classroom management is analyzed from 3 special aspects: rules and procedures, classroom design, and environment. |
|
| Closing the Achievement Gap: Attend this session to examine the implications of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and Response to Intervention (RtI) as they relate to student performance below grade level or struggling at grade level. A variety of strategies will be presented to “close the achievement gap". |
|
| Co-teaching: Learn about various co-teaching models and analyze each in relationship to multiple situations. Participants will create an effective co-teaching plan that will include a response to potential barriers. |
|
| Differentiated Instruction I: Examining the critical components of differentiated instruction (content, process, and products) will begin
this session. In addition, addressing student characteristics such as readiness, interest, and learning profiles will be included. |
|
| Differentiated Instruction II: After a brief review of the highlights of DI I,
discussion will focus on how best to respond to student needs by the general principles of respectful tasks, flexible grouping and ongoing assessment.
Examples include adaptive instruction, adaptive materials, environmental accommodations, memory supports, and behavior accommodations. |
|
| The Strategic Teacher: Participants will learn new strategies and discuss ways to modify and maximize personal “favorites.” Alternatives to predictable patterns and traditional strategies will be discussed. |
|
Differentiated Instruction with Common Sense:
This interactive workshop will emphasize the flow of instruction from whole class to individual and, review to sharing throughout the unit of study. After reviewing both instructional and management strategies to deliver differentiated instruction, participants will create new strategies that they can implement in their classrooms
the following day. |
| |
Literacy and Content:
What is the key concept linking literacy and content in all learning areas? How can teachers enlist parents to help students improve knowledge while at home? These are just a few of the questions that will be addressed in this hands-on session that will include all participants working to create inquiry-based and literacy-rich curricula for the content areas that will meet state standards.. |
Universal Design for Learning:
After discussing and defining the concept of Universal Design for Learning, seminar participants will work in curriculum/grade levels groups to address reducing learning barriers and support for learning. Groups will work through a variety of exercises and ultimately will create a plan for implementation in each participant’s school.
|
Best Practices for ELL Students
The course Best Practices for ELL Students links the nine instructional strategies to the proficiency levels of ELL students. The teachers will identify the practices that have the greatest effect on student achievement and learn how to apply and modify them for ELL students. The incorporation of best practices into lesson plans will be demonstrated through hands-on activities. Supplemental book, Nine Best
Practices, is recommended for participants. |
Brain Compatible Classroom:
The workshop will begin by identifying the characteristics of a brain compatible classroom. Ways of creating the learning environment and of making the lessons relevant to the students will be presented. Ideas regarding reducing stress to improve learning will also be included. |
