craft and our Differentiated Instruction workshop does just that by giving strategies that can be modified for all kids and communities – for all grade levels and curriculums.

• This Differentiated Instruction workshop brings attention and engagement to each and every lesson. Students are actively involved in the content and excited about the learning they are undertaking.

BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS• Students in our Differentiated Instruction classrooms

enjoy a number of advantages over those in traditional “one-size fits all” approach settings. Students are able to be active participants in their own learning.

• The curriculum is no longer pointed to the middle of the group but available and interactive to all students. Those students that found a traditional classroom lesson too “difficult” or “boring” are now excited about their learning.

• Students receive the content and curriculum in ways that ensure they are engaged. This engagement allows students to connect and learn the content at a deep level of understanding.

Survival

HELP! I DIDN’T LEARN THIS STUFF IN COLLEGE

Being a classroom teacher is more than managing students and creating awesome lesson plans. There is so much more to it than that. Unfortunately, there are no college courses on how to survive the classroom. You entered into this profession because you wanted to educate and make a difference. However, the unexpected curve balls being thrown at you are wearing you down.

DON’T GIVE UP

Our students need passionate educators just like you. Reignite that passion with simple and easy to implement strategies that will take you from highly frustrated to highly effective.

LEARN HOW TO

• Have an effective parent conference• Collect and analyze data• Deal with “curve balls”• Plan a week/month/year in advance• and much more!

Parent

InvolvementFOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTThe most accurate predictor of a student’s achievement in school is not income or social status but the extent to which that student’s family is able to:

• Create a home environment that encourages learning.

• Express high (but not unrealistic) expectations for their children’s achievement and future careers.

• Become involved in their children’s education at school and in the community.

FOR PARENTS AND EDUCATORS• Great for the Fall Parent Night. Give your parents

some support with this entertaining and informative parent workshop. They will learn how to support their children and build better relationships with teachers. They will learn strategies to extend the learning from the classroom to home…and much more!

• Also excellent for your educators. Teachers will learn about the 3 classroom management styles and discover which style is the most favorable among parents. They will learn about the 5 main parent personality styles and how to support each style.
