Virtual Speaker
Cornelius will be doing two sessions for NSLA (Fall 2023 and Spring 2024) with the following theme for both sessions: Sharpening Instructional Practice in the Humanities Classroom (ELA and Social Studies) for Elementary and Early Middle School Teachers By exploring the essential question; “What are the specific classroom conditions necessary to optimize student growth in this context?”, the Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 sessions are designed to support educators as they build structures that allow for inquiry, curiosity, comprehension, decision making, critical thinking, problem solving, analysis, and JOY. The goal of these sessions is to measurably impact student work, discussion, and engagement. Educators will leave with skills to initiate and sustain this work and the tools to continue it. We cannot “PD” a solution to the social conditions that lead to inequity, but we can understand them and build systems to ensure that children learn powerfully when they are in our classrooms. Join us for the first Session - Fall 2023 - November 2, 2023 Classroom Culture: Creating Supportive Opportunities for Effective Student Collaboration, Talk, Engagement, and Struggles 6:00 PM (Central time) Registration is coming Reduced cost if you do both the book study and the Virtual Speaker event |
