Professional Learning Opportunities

Join us as we dive into the dynamic world of the 3-Dimensional Framework behind the STEELS standards. Discover how this researched approach revolutionizes science, tech & engineering, and environmental education by bringing the curriculum to life. This workshop offers valuable resources to help understand the new standards and how they lead to instructional shifts in the classroom. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of how the standards were developed and how to implement them within your grade level, course, and/or school. Lunch on your own

Ready to see MORE examples of phenomena-based learning in the classroom? This brand new workshop will go through additional strategies and examples of how to incorporate the STEELS standards into your classroom. Examples for elementary, middle, and high school will be shared. Be prepared to be immersed in the classroom examples and walk away with classroom ready strategies! Lunch on your own

Students learn more when expectations are clear. This Teacher Clarity 2-day professional learning workshop facilitated by Dr. John Almarode, Professor of Education in the College of Education at James Madison University and co-author of the Teacher Clarity Playbook, 2nd Edition, will unpack a process for designing instruction that invites students into the learning process. Working alongside peers, teachers will learn how to explicitly communicate to students what they will be learning on a given day, why they're learning it, and how to know if they were successful. The Teacher Clarity framework encourages a culture of assessment-capable visible learners who take ownership of their learning journey. And when learners have agency, student engagement and achievement soar. Additional Infomration All participants will receive a copy of the Teacher Clarity Playbook, 2nd Edition.
