Description: Participants will understand the importance of
purposeful deliberate instruction toward student learning using the hallmarks
of a standards-based classroom and best practices. Participants will develop
differentiated lessons for their classrooms to accommodate the needs of small
groups and individual students. The class structure provides time for directed
as well as self-directed investigation. Both print and web resources will be utilized.
It is recommended that you bring any content materials you wish to use along
with a flash drive to share and save materials. If you have access to a laptop,
please bring it.
