Description of the workshop.
Teaching is more complex than most people realize. It requires careful planning, strong relationships and thoughtful interactions. Teachers have to design learning experiences that close the gap between what students currently know and can do and what they are supposed to be able to do. Following decades of research and teaching, seven interrelated areas necessary for classrooms and schools to function effectively have been identified. In this workshop, teachers will learn how to foster effective teaching and deep learning using the seven elements of the Unstoppable Learning model. Learning as it pertains to designing powerful learning opportunities.
Solution Tree consultant Dr. Nanci N. Smith, will be our presenter for this interactive workshop for 7th - 12th grade teachers Nanci has 14 years of experience as a consultant.
