Are your students building foundational knowledge, wrestling with disciplinary concepts, and applying their skills and understanding to new contexts? Do your teachers have routines and strategies for building surface, deep, and transfer learning, as well as the dispositions needed for rigorous thinking? Learn high-impact instructional strategies and coaching techniques that will make rigorous routines sustainable.
Participants will:
- Explore research concerning surface, deep, and transfer learning, habit science, high-leverage instructional practices, and instructional coaching;
- Experience, facilitate, and coach several four-step instructional strategies and hear students discuss the impact of these strategies on their learning; and
- Discover ways to collect and analyze impact.
