Instructional Strategies

Effective teaching is a complex but critical endeavor. During this 2-Day Workshop, the presenter arms educators of all levels—from teachers to superintendents and principals—with tools and strategies to improve their practice.

Learn what effective teachers do to target and measure improved student learning. High-quality learning goals set an appropriate level of difficulty, drive the selection of targeted instructional activities, and align with assessment tools that allow teachers and students to measure progress. Explore the research on goal setting and two different kinds of learning goals. Then learn how to design goals that align with proficiency scales, measure student performance, and track results.

The High Reliability Schools (HRS) framework of effective school reform emphasizes key elements: a safe, supportive, and collaborative culture; effective teaching in every classroom; a guaranteed and viable curriculum; a standards-based approach to tracking and reporting student progress; and the use of competency-based educational practices as fundamental conditions that schools can implement and measure to ensure educational success for all students.

Building and district leaders must be well versed in standards-referenced grading and all that it entails. This is no small change. It is a lot like parenting—exciting, challenging, trying, rewarding, frustrating, and extremely gratifying. It is the most transformational change upon which leaders may ever embark.
