Year 2

Essential Question:  Is the cognitive demand placed primarily on my learner?

In Year 2 of the New Educator  Workshop, educators will help learners build positive habits of mind. Learners will be encouraged to take more agency in their learning through a variety of teaching practices. Educators will conduct collaborative action research in which they will learn from each other through the use of an inquiry cycle in an area they are curious about and want to further develop their skills . The year's summative project is to:

•  learn and apply something new with a focus on student growth

•  identify which instructional practice it most aligns to  and be able to justify why it is that practice. For example: responsive instructional practice, visible learning, design thinking or learner identity. 

• be able to justify why it is that practice

• be able to say “why ‘it’ works to enhance your practice and support learners

• Create a one pager that shows your learning 

• Prepare to share your experience and learning at a guided round table discussion
