Thursday, February 10, 2022, 7:00-8:00 PM – Effective Questioning & Linking Questioning to Assessment led by La Salle University (via Zoom)

Transitioning from a novice teacher to a master teacher requires expertise in fundamental tools that enable your students to learn. One fundamental tool that locks in deep student learning is effective questioning. A teacher can get their students to a point of deep learning that demonstrates their mastery of objectives if they have appropriate questions to engage with and respond to. Effective questions feed a culture of inquiry in the classroom which is nurtured by a teacher using effective questioning strategies. Teachers will learn how to create questions that directly link students to the objectives and to assessments where students demonstrate what they know and can do.

Join us on Thursday, January 13, 2022, 7:00-8:00 PM on Zoom for Building a Culture of Inquiry let by Eastern University.

Inquiry is an important tool for increasing student ownership and engagement, and it is most effective when fully integrated  into the culture of the classroom. Like all elements of classroom culture, developing a culture of inquiry needs to start from the very beginning of the school year and be explicitly reinforced throughout the year. This workshop begins by defining key terms and providing specific strategies for developing a culture of inquiry. Participants will then have the opportunity to apply and modify those strategies in a variety of contexts.

]]> Co-Teaching: Train-the-Trainer Workshops https://phennd.org/update/co-teaching-train-the-trainer-workshops/ Tue, 26 Aug 2014 03:17:15 +0000 https://phennd.org/?post_type=update&p=41276 Co-Teaching: Train-the-Trainer Workshops

Participants in this two-day Co-Teaching Train-the-Trainer workshop gain in-depth knowledge of both the quantitative and qualitative data gathered on co-teaching in student teaching; they identify key personnel needed for successful implementation, learn ways to secure university and district buy-in, discover the essentials of a co-teaching workshop, gain knowledge of co-teaching and co-planning strategies, and identify ways to support university supervisors, and much much more!
What’s best is we’ll bring the workshop to you!

Participants receive a CD containing materials, activities and handouts developed by our program along with PowerPoint presentations that can be used and/or modified to fit your institution. Participants completing both days of training are licensed to use our copyrighted materials at their home institution.

We encourage colleges, universities and their school partners to participate as a team – preferably with 3-5 colleagues so that they can discuss adaptations, modifications, changes, and implications in their own program. A team also provides support as participants return to their institution and begin to implement co-teaching in their own program. Co-Teaching should be a programmatic shift – not an individual initiative.

Those who attend the training will provide the leadership for your institution and school partners as you develop and implement the co-teaching model of student teaching.
