Title: Instructional Strategies that Work; Connecting Theory to Practical Strategies for Everyday Use in the Classroom
Vice Principal
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.

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.
