Title: P.U.R.E. (Powerfully Using Relationships Effectively) Teaching I am excited about organizing this summer’s Summer Institute in the Tri Cities and I’m looking forward to all of us sharing ideas on how to be better educators. Everyone who takes the seminar will receive a 105 page P.U.R.E. Teaching Resource Manual and we will spend each morning walking through the book, page by page. We will discuss lessons on motivation, choice making, relationships with teachers and students, and goal setting. These are the lessons that I am currently teaching to educators in seminars across the United States and Canada through Bureau of Education & Research, Rachel’s Challenge, and through my business, Positive Powerful Teaching. In the afternoons we will have some top quality Tri City Educators to share their thoughts on how we can all take our teaching to the next level. Be ready for an energizing week of encouragement, empowerment, and growth in all aspects of what we all know to be a “joyfully challenging profession”. My presentation will include the following: • Basic attitude and behavior lessons for elementary school students.
Real Skills for Virtual Life LOOKBOTHWAYS FOUNDATION In this session, Lizanne Coker will explore the risks students face online, expose the impact of those risks and teach actionable solutions to them. You’ll find out why most of what you learned about Internet safety isn’t useful. In particular, you’ll learn how students incur risks, expose personal information and damage their computers without realizing it. In closing, Coker will introduce Netskills4Life, a fully sponsored, Internet safety curriculum designed to create respectful, responsible, and safe online citizens. The curriculum will be available online free of charge in September of 2011. Lizanne Coker

ICE AGE FLOODS FIELD TRIP:WESTERN COLUMBIA PLATEAU During the latter part of the Pleistocene Epoch (18-15 thousand years ago) gigantic outburst floods swept out of western Montana, across northern Idaho and much of eastern Washington down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean. Come follow part of the path of the greatest floods known to geology. You will travel “upstream” through the Othello and Drumheller Channels that funneled water to the Tri-Cities area from the Quincy Basin. You’ll continue across the mouth of the Grand Coulee, over Pinto Ridge to Dry Falls and down the Lower Grand Coulee. You will see giant ripples on the West Bar formed by a late flood episode and Frenchman Coulee on the western rim of the Quincy Basin. You’ll follow the floods through Frenchman and Sentinal Gaps down the Columbia River back to the Tri-Cities. We will car pool and will be gone about 8 hours. Bring a lunch, drinks and snacks.
Tri-Tech Skills Center offers high school Juniors and Seniors an opportunity to get a head start for after-high-school training… or even a start to a career. Students learn skills to be successful in entry-level jobs while at the same time earning high school credits. And most programs offer college credit through the Tech Prep system.

You will also be able to experience some of the classes in summer sessions
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.
