In this workshop, we will share and create lessons to teach students how to identify important information while reading, and how to organize writing about the information they read. We will also examine student work to detect writing and executive function struggles such as organization, and time management and how to customize teaching to suit identified needs.
Session: Tuesday, January 17, 2023, 3:30 - 5:00 PM
Educators will look at examples of ethical, responsible, and safe technology use in the classroom, as well as how to teach students about digital citizenship. As educators, administrators, and educational leaders will explore, what does citizenship look like when we take it online?
Learn ways to utilize gaming to connect students to classroom teaching. Motivate students to apply what they already learned and encourage them to "level-up," to enhance their skills.
We can foster the enthusiasm for STEM content in numerous ways within a classroom setting. One said way is through coding. Coding can be defined as the language we use to communicate with computers. Coding becomes very exciting for students when they realize that they can create their own projects or programs which allows them to be developers, creators, and engineers.
Learn how to deconstruct STEM to “unbox” the SEL content. Educators will discover how to identify positive qualitative outcomes that are assessed in the traditional science, technology, engineering, and math quantitative outcomes.
Discover how a single read-aloud in your classroom can support informal assessment, social and emotional development, teach listening and speaking skills, and stimulate critical thinking. Through this webinar educators will learn how to expand and support student language through the joy of reading.
Educators will explore effective strategies to engage and motivate all styles of diverse learning while developing their language performance. They will also use these strategies to create activities distance learning activities that incorporate Google Classroom, Google Docs, FlipGrid, and Padlet
During this webinar, educators will learn and develop a language pattern of positive reinforcement that can sustain student social and emotional balance. Through positive psychology methods, educators will be able to help students mitigate through difficult moments of expression.
