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.

Title: PURE Teaching V (Powerfully Using Relationships Effectively)
This is the 5th installment of PURE Teaching. In the last few years we have covered everything from motivation to dealing with disruptive students. This year’s seminar will include the best P.S.R. Lessons (Personal & Social Responsibility) of all time. P.S.R. is a class that Mr. Chapin started 25 years ago and still teaches today to elementary as well as secondary students. These students as well as the students he works with at the Juvenile Justice Center benefit greatly from these rather simple yet profound lessons. Many of the students Mr. Chapin deals with have better grades, better attendance, can solve problems more effectively, and many of the JJC students get out of and stay out of trouble. The presentation will include the following:
- What self-esteem and motivation really are. How to work on your self-esteem and motivation and more importantly, how to teach it to your 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 it.
- 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.

Made FABulous
With the FAB Five
You’ll be actively engaged in the learning process: How can we as teachers empower our students to take charge of their health & fitness? It takes all 5 components of fitness to keep kids fit & healthy. You’ll use parts of Focused Fitness’ curriculum to create FABulous ways to make fitness fun and content-oriented for your elementary students.
Team Building
Team Building: One of the strongest teaching tools we should possess is the ability to relate to others. The educational profession is all about relationship issues regardless if you are a building administrator, teacher, para-professional, bus driver or custodian, we are all EDUCATORS!!! With nearly 6,000 students dropping out of school every single day in our country, what can we do to help minimize these numbers and promote a better climate in our classroom and our buildings?
Conducting Team Building workshops throughout the country, I have found similar problems exist regardless of location, or economic conditions. Improving our ability to relate and understand the attitudes and perceptions of others provides a “huge tool” in our tool box, that helps promote student achievement. A reminder, “They can’t learn if they are not there.”
Of all the baggage kids bring to school, most of it deals with their inability to relate. Regardless of the cause, it becomes our duty to assist in every way possible to provide a positive learning climate for these kids. This Team Building workshop will help with the “tool” for those kids or adults in your world that are least like you in the way they perceive and behave.
Legal Issues: Education is one of the most litigious professions anyone can enter. We are constantly on the line “to do the right thing.” How do we always know what that is? How does our job constantly change to meet new standards? What training am I receiving to keep up with these tasks? This legal issues class is to remind us of the duties we have each day and to provide awareness of some of the pitfalls we all need to avoid.
With all the budget concerns, we are now seeing higher student loads, cutbacks on support staff and more responsibility placed on the teacher regarding proper supervision. Educators are facing some very challenging times and this workshop is designed to provide information, techniques and materials that will assist us all in providing a meaningful sound experience for the youth of our communities
