"Students have rarely been involved in making significant changes to their learning. Education reforms have typically focused on curriculum, teachers and teaching, and assessment, but rarely about helping students to become owners of their learning and learning environments" - Prof. Yong Zhao

"Unknown and rapid changes in children's lives affect their emotional state. Some may show it through behavioral changes while others may show academic difficulties. Preschoolers and elementary students can use toys to address their thoughts, experience, and feelings. They can play in the classroom setting while the teacher or school counselor is there to listen." - Dr. Suzi Kagan

This hands-on webinar will equip its participants with knowledge and skills to answer the following:

Name 3 behavioral changes that show a child needs help

What are the crucial toys to have in your classroom (list 10 of them)

How will you react if the child is refusing to play or to leave the playroom?

Knowing what to do and why it works is the aim of learning mathematics. Having both procedural and conceptual understanding working together is the goal. How do you develop both, which comes first, and does it matter?

Do you ever wonder why a student ‘doesn’t get it’ no matter how you have tried to present the concept or process or why the explanations that make sense to you don’t make sense to some students?

These are some of the questions we will answer in these workshops.

Three Key Questions on Measuring Learning by Jay McTighe

To gauge different types of learning, we need a broader collection of measures, with a greater emphasis on authentic, performance-based projects.

Educators, policy makers, parents, and others interested in improving the way we measure learning in today's schools need to examine three essential questions: 1) What really matters in a contemporary education? 2) How should we assess those things that matter? 3) How might our assessments enhance l

Why Should We Use Performance Tasks?

"Authentic tasks are needed to both develop and assess many of the most significant outcomes identified in the current sets of academic standards as well as trans-disciplinary 21st Century Skills; and Research on effective learning from cognitive psychology and neuroscience underscores the importance of providing students with multiple opportunities to apply their learning to relevant, real-world situations" - Jay McTighe

Abigail S. Blair - Growing up, I never had a traditional music class and am so glad for it. I learned music by experiencing it and seeing it modeled through my family's love of music. I've never been able to think inside in the box.... in fact, I'm not sure I was ever issued a "box" because I've never found it!
