Teaching Strategies CYOA

Process

20150331030641XutaG.jpg

Package #1

6 days and 5 nights exploring the rainforests of pedagogy by trying to discover how students learn. Students are not all the same and teaching methods need to reflect the push towards teaching students where they are. As with plants and animals, students are good at some things, and not so good at others. Some students learn well with certain materials while other students struggle with those same materials. Learn how to help students succeed by adapting your teacher, and their learning, to facilitate the learning process. All expenses paid. Please note you are responsible for your own transportation to and from the drop-off point.

Day 1 & 2 Check out these great Youtube videos about differentiation 

Day 3 &4
Check out these resources
http://education.cu-portland.edu/blog/teaching-strategies/examples-of-differentiated-instruction/ Is a great site that covers differentiation and the pros and cons as well.

Days 5 & 6
Take a fun quiz and test your knowledge - it's an adventure!
Take the quiz and go back and learn more about questions that may have arisen.

Now try and differentiate just one lesson. Start slow and see what works and what didn't so you can do an even better job next time!



Package #2
5 days and 6 nights previewing and practicing adventure skills by flipping the classroom, or practicing and gaining basic knowledge and skills so that classroom time can be spent on applying those skills and knowledge using higher order thinking skills.

http://www.powtoon.com/ Powtoon lets you create animated videos and presentations.
http://plasq.com/apps/comiclife/macwin/ Use Comic Life to create a comic instead of the same old PowerPoint.
https://sway.com/ Sway by Microsoft is a much more visually oriented presentation tool that actually helps you create the presentation.
http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ Use Screencast-o-matic to create a movie about what is happening on your computer screen. Great for Math class!
