With goals, standards and objectives in place the question becomes how to connect the curriculum to the classroom. Providing educators with the opportunity to seek the answers for connectivity will enable the curriculum to effectively move off the page and into the instruction. This practical, interactive experience is designed to support educators as they journey on beyond standards and objectives to successful teaching.
Workshop Focus Questions:
- What are the objectives/standards to be taught?
- How can I make sense of the design for instruction these objectives/standards present?
- How do I engage my student's interest in learning this material?
- Within what contexts should these objective/standards be taught, practiced and assessed?
- What are the most effective techniques for instruction relating to the objectives/standards?
- What materials are needed for instruction, practice and assessment?
