Paula Kluth: Joyful Learning: Using Active & Collaborative Structures to Differentiate Instruction

 Too often a “one-size-fits- all” approach is used to design lessons leaving some learners struggling to participate and leaving teachers feeling they have not reached all of their students.  In this interactive session, participants will apply principles of differentiation by exploring a number of collaborative, active, and brain-compatible learning techniques aimed at engaging students and making learning joyful. Participants will learn alternatives to lecture as well as ways to make whole-class instruction more motivating. The 2-day workshop will include video clips, “make and take” materials, simulations, and opportunities for brainstorming and planning. The session is appropriate for teachers of grades5-12 and is structured for participants to experience active techniques through demonstration.

If you work in a CESA 5 school district, there is no fee for you to attend. However, a cancellation fee of $50 will be applied if less than 3 business days notice is given.
