When students struggle, we often jump into fix-it mode. We label students as low-achieving, below grade level, or deficient. This workshop will engage educators in shifting that lens to a more asset-based approach. How can we begin to see students' strengths, and how can we leverage those strengths to address students' needs. A variety of videos and student work samples will be used to engage participants in truly seeing the strength in all children as we work to ensure they experience success in our classrooms. [K-6]

During a year when accelerated learning is the goal, it’s important to prioritize writing instruction so that the most essential K-12 skills are the foundation of a writing curriculum. This requires more than just showing strong examples and assigning writing topics. Students need explicit, skill-based instruction that demonstrates how to incorporate the most critical, genre-specific ingredients into their own first-draft writings. Using the college and career-ready writing standards as the foundation, this workshop for K-12 teachers will identify the core writing skills to teach per unit.

While the term "Differentiation" has been around for awhile and research has shown it is critical for meeting the diverse academic needs of today's learners, it still seems almost impossible to truly differentiate well for ALL Learners. How do you differentiate for so many diverse learners without having to individually plan for every student? This workshop will introduce the critical elements of a differentiated classroom. Strategies, techniques and resources for differentiating instruction, student learning activities and assessments based on learning levels and language needs will be shared. We will investigate ways to take your current lessons and turn them into differentiated lessons without lots of work!! Bring a lesson/unit to the workshop to use with the learning activities and you will have one lesson done before you leave!! This workshop is not content specific and applicable to all teachers K-12.
