Despite their unrivalled power for improving performance in any and every school, the elements of a coherent curriculum, authentic literacy, and soundly structured lessons continue to be misunderstoood and grossly under-implemented. For this reason, these simple, familiar elements should be our first and highest priority.
Oconee RESA announces the following
opportunity: Elevating the Essentials to Radically Improve Student
Learning. Dr. Mike Schmoker is a former
administrator, English teacher and football coach. He has written six books and
dozens of articles for educational journals, newspapers and for TIME magazine.
In this session, he will help participants learn precisely where to
focus their precious time, efforts and resources to ensure that all students
are prepared for the 21st century demands of college, careers and
citizenship. They will learn about the three most essential elements of
good schooling, and how to implement them immediately, successfully and on a
very clear, straight forward model. The three elements are a coherent
curriculum, authentic literacy and soundly structured lessons. Despite
their unrivalled power for improving performance in any and every school, these
elements continue to be misunderstood and grossly under-implemented.
Participants will leave this session knowing both what to
do and how to do it, in ways that will yield immediate and
significant results. Date: August 6, 2015 Time: 8-11:00 a.m. Location: Baldwin County Board of Education Member Districts: No Fee Non-member Districts: $35 Click here to register. |
