PBL 101 for
Elementary Educators
Begins February 1
PBL 101 is a foundational four-day workshop inspired by the work of the Buck Institute for Education, New Tech Network, Edutopia and Expeditionary Learning. It provides attendees with the skills and knowledge needed to design, assess and manage a rigorous, relevant, and standards-based project. The workshop is a balanced blend of direct instruction, video analysis, hands-on work time, resource sharing, and peer collaboration and feedback.
Common Core Mathematics
Grades 9-11 Collaborative Session
February 8
This is intended to be a session where Math teachers can share ideas and materials, related to grades 9-11, with their colleagues, either within their own district or with other districts. Teachers will be expected to work together to determine best practices, identifying troublesome areas within each grade level curriculum as well as teaching approaches that have been successful.
Response to Intervention - SPECIAL EVENT
Feb 27, 28, April 5, 6
Response to Intervention: RTI is not a series of implementation steps to cross off on a list, but a way of thinking about how educators can ensure each student receives the time and support needed to achieve success. This workshop was developed for school teams who have started RTI but are still refining processes or experiencing challenges. The presenters have worked with hundreds of schools throughout North America and can help your school make RTI efficient, effective, and equitable. RTI work must be divided between collaborative teacher teams and two schoolwide teams (a leadership team and an intervention team). Together, the entire school assumes responsibility for the learning of every student.
