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. 

 

Session 1: Participants will review the hallmarks of a standards-based classroom and best practices through directed teaching and discussion. Participants will investigate web resources and begin their personal projects.

 

Session 2: Participants will review the importance of cues, questions and advance organizers, identifying similarities and differences, summarizing and note taking to student learning through directed teaching and discussion. Participants will further investigate web resources for their personal projects.

 

Session 3: Participants will review the importance of reinforcing effort and providing recognition, cooperative learning, and homework practice to student learning through directed teaching and discussion. Participants will further investigate web resources for their personal projects.

 

Session 4: Participants will review the importance of nonlinguistic representation, setting objectives and providing feedback and generating and testing hypothesis to student learning through directed teaching and discussion. Participants will further investigate web resources for their personal projects.
