Learning & Doing at YOUR School
TLCN no longer offers summer workshops in the original 2 week setting. However, we can do 2 day workshops at your school for your staff and any surrounding schools/educators you'd like to invite. Determine topics based on your needs. With the changes in teaching and learning to better prepare today's students for life after high school, we know everyone's needs are different. Authentic learning experiences require a change in how we think, how we teach and how we assess. Workshops can be scheduled that are appropriate for Elementary, Secondary, and/or a variety of content areas. Workshop topics target topics and skills that will allow educators to change their own practice to better support the goal of creating successful students in a rapidly changing world. Sessions would focus on supporting teachers as they seek to create authentic and rigorous learning experiences. Session topics could include developing growth mindset and effective habits of mind; deeper engagement through application of skills; utilizing and integrating technology in the classroom; online presentation skills; and understanding with poverty students in mind. Workshops would need to be 2 days in length, if graduate college credit is desired (offered by Baker University as a separate fee). |

Change happens in education as a result of our efforts to improve instruction and achievement, meet the needs of our students, and become more efficient and effective. How we respond to those changes is contingent upon us understanding WHY the changes are occurring, HOW they will benefit us, and WHAT results will occur once the changes are implemented. Changes may be mandated or those that are simply what's best for kids. To deal with change, we have to determine how to put the pieces together to achieve the desired goals and support the implementation of the specified change with effective professional learning. Teaching and Learning Consulting Network can provide the assistance you may need in this process.
