Featured Presentations


Penny Kittle

June 2 - Planning and Implementing Book Clubs Using Culturally Responsive Texts and Strategies 

Book clubs engage readers in a wide range of texts that allow for divergent thinking and learning from the perspective of others. Book clubs build community and deepen reading comprehension through discourse and writing. In this workshop, participants will dive into planning and implementing book clubs using culturally responsive texts and teaching strategies in the intermediate and secondary classrooms.
 

August  25 - Launching Your Year With Independent Reading Using Culturally Responsive Texts and Strategies 

How can launching the year with independent reading build a collaborative community of learners? With over a year of unprecedented learning, participants will learn how to plan a unit of study around independent reading in order to support students in gaining back their stamina, fluency, and joy of reading and writing.

August 26 - Make Learning Epic - Heightening Engagement and Deepening Learning With the Power of Authenticity

Trevor shares how educators can design and shape learning experiences to make deeper connections with students, have a more memorable classroom, and transform their students' lives. Using the power of storytelling, brain science, and the principles of Project Based Learning, teachers can achieve real student engagement, and in return, learning that is permanent and unforgettable. When students are empowered to solve authentic problems and teachers become designers of meaningful learning experiences, school becomes a place where everyone can thrive.
 

August 27 - EPIC Project Based Learning

Epic Project Based Learning (PBL) at its core is about making learning- content and skills- authentic. PBL adds authenticity and real world challenges to the work students accomplish, and in the process making learning more engaging and memorable. This workshop gives concrete methods, practices, and resources to create a standards-based, skills and content rich classroom in an innovative project based learning model.
