Differentiating Instruction for Adults and Adolescents
In the Moment with the Young Adolescent Learner
There is a big difference between getting students ready for next year by treating them as if they were already there, and getting them ready by providing the classroom environment and program that supports them at their current stage of development.
Leave this workshop with:
An understanding of the defining characteristics of the young adolescent learner (Grades 6-10)
Actions you can take to meet young adolescents' physical, social, emotional, moral and cognitive needs
Connecting with Young Adolescents
Having a connection to an adult at school makes a significant positive difference to our students' social, emotional and academic development. However, connectedness doesn't happen just because thirty students and a teacher share a room.
Leave this workshop with:
An understanding of how you can build relationships and be authentic with students without losing your authority.
Strategies for engaging all learners and creating a strong, vibrant classroom learning community.
