Boys and School: Challenging Underachievement, Getting It Right!
As the only course of its kind anywhere, Boys and School helps K-12 educators clarify why one-size-fits-all-boys solutions cannot work in response to complex reasons about why so many boys in our schools today are underachieving, despite our best efforts. By embracing the variance among boys and the ways in which they struggle in our schools, participants learn a rich repertoire of research-based responses designed to engage and support struggling boys in their own classrooms, provide conditions for their success, develop their real-world skills, and help them build a positive male identity.
Classroom-Based Assessment: Practical Strategies for Powerful Learning
If you're one of the thousands of teachers for whom the word "assessment" is a red-flag word, this course is just what you're looking for! Teachers who have completed Classroom-Based Assessment tell us repeatedly that they "had no idea" of just how exciting assessment can be when used to support student learning instead of judging learning after the fact. Join dozens of K-12 educators who have rediscovered the power and joy of using assessment for learning, reclaiming it as an invaluable tool for motivation, improved instructional effectiveness, and academic success.
Best Practices for Brain-Based Classrooms: Fusing the Art of Teaching with the Science of Learning
Filled with fascinating information and AHAs about everything from how many bits of information we can teach at one time to how to optimize memory and transfer, Best Practices for Brain-Based Classrooms helps K-12 educators enhance their students' learning experience and academic success by applying recent neuroscientific evidence about how our brains learn to the classroom context. Participants practice and apply each of the brain-based principles they explore, making this amazing information immediately accessible in the most practical of ways.
Differentiated Instructional Strategies for Today's Classrooms
The topic of differentiated instruction (DI) is familiar to most educators today, but few of us really know and understand its underlying principles or how to apply it effectively. Differentiated Instructional Strategies for Today's Classrooms helps K-12 educators translate the theory of DI into the practice of DI by gradually building expertise in a wide range of DI instructional approaches and strategies, by helping participants understand how the subtleties of DI classroom management and flow support the DI process, and by illuminating how shifts in the teacher's role develop student self-directedness that is both the catalyst for and result of effective differentiation.
