Overview

Over three 2 hour sessions, we will be exploring how we can plan lessons with multiple strategies that align with how students learn, in order to increase student learning for all students.

Session 1 will focus on Planning for Engagement (The "WHY" of learning).

Session 2 will focus on Planning for Representation (The "WHAT" of learning).

Session 3 will focus on Planning for Action and Representation (The "HOW" of learning).

Learning Targets for Session 1

• I can summarize the "Myth of Average" and why teaching to the middle doesn't work for the majority of students.

• I can describe the guidelines and checkpoints of engagement.

• I can plan and implement strategies to provide learners with multiple means of engagement in an upcoming lesson.
