Session Descriptions

Instructional Variety to Increase Student Engagement and Success

During this session, participants will learn how students’ brains learn differently, therefore, teachers must know how to differentiate instruction in today’s highly diverse classrooms. To assure that new connections are wired to stay and not pruned away, multiple processing opportunities must be actively engaged. Elaborative rehearsals, multi-modal activities and creative instructional strategies can assure deep learning and long-term retention. This webinar will share dozens of classroom-tested practical ideas that will inspire teachers on ways to modify their instructional strategies - without compromising mastery of standards.
