Instructional Strategies that Work; Connecting Theory to Practical Strategies for Everyday Use in the Classroom
This presentation will be based on the book Classroom Instruction that Works (Marzano, Pickering and Pollock) 2003. We will examine nine strategies that research has found to be most effective in classroom instruction for K-12 teachers. With each strategy participants will be exposed to some practical and specific methods that can be embedded into their classrooms next Fall.

“Use Your Strengths to be a Difference Maker:
A Teacher of the Highest Order”
Tom Champoux, nationally recognized as a dynamic speaker and energizing trainer, challenges long-held myths about leadership and followership. Drawing on over 25 years experience as a teacher, coach, trainer and speaker, he believes that those who do not balance the relationship between people skills and teaching skills will have difficulty succeeding in today's classroom. The heart of Tom's work lies in creating a classroom climate built around empowerment and the exchange of trust, respect and dignity.
"Cross Cultural Communication Skills"
When we engage in conversations across cultures, there is always the risk that what we say might offend someone. Oftentimes we don’t even know why what we said was offensive. This interactive workshop is designed to assist participants in increasing their knowledge of what racism looks like in the 21st century by examining racial microaggressions. Participants discover how common, well-intended comments are loaded with unconscious bias that push peoples “hot buttons” and further the racial divide. Strategies for effectively communicating and addressing the tension are shared.
"PURE Teaching VI (Powerfully Using Relationships Effectively)"
This is the 6th installment of P.U.R.E. Teaching. This year’s seminar will focus on relationships with students and colleagues and how to interact in ways that increase mutual understanding, promote cooperation, and decrease conflict. We will also discuss lessons on motivation, choice making and goal setting. These lessons are currently being taught by Mr. Chapin to educators in seminars across the United States through Bureau of Education & Research, Rachel’s Challenge, and through Mr. Chapin’s business, Positive Powerful Teaching. He is also teaching these lessons to students of all grades at various school districts and the Juvenile Justice Center.
This year’s presentation will include the following:
- Basic attitude and behavior lessons for elementary school students.
- Classroom proven strategies for increasing academic performance and establishing mutual respect between you and your students.
- Highly effective methods for improving students’ attitudes about school, life, and learning.
- Practical methods to empower students to accept personal responsibility for what happens to them in school and in life.
- Student friendly ideas that prevent power struggles, apathy, and classroom disruptions.
- Where to find energy in teaching and how to plug the holes that drain that energy.
- Goal setting and problem solving for both the teacher and the student
We will cover these and many other topics as well as receiving a packet containing some of these lessons and other useful information.
"Tying Together Curriculum and Technology"
Being engaged in the classroom is one of the keys to deep learning. Come spend some time to focus on how and why we use technology to enhance delivery and assessment of curriculum. The session will discuss the paradigm shift teachers and districts are making when choosing technology tools to assist in the delivery of content and will also explore how Mobi's and eInstruction Classroom Response Systems can be used to help with classroom management and delivery of curriculum. See examples of how using these tools can help teachers to actively engage all students in classrooms with ever increasing numbers, check student understanding throughout a lesson, provide on-going real-time feedback during lessons, differentiate instruction based on student understanding, and efficiently assess and record student knowledge. See examples of how teachers can use these tools to make learning visible and take learning to a deeper level using quality questioning strategies during instruction.
