TARGET AUDIENCE: GRADES 5-9 TEACHERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND

Teaching middle school is a challenging job! Developmentally, students in this age group are built to question, to challenge, to experiment and to defy.  Why fight it?! Capitalize on all of the characteristics that make this age group wonderful to create powerful learning opportunities steeped in positive student growth.

Join this learning community to connect and design learning with other middle school teachers.  Learn how to create the classroom conditions where you and your students thrive while having fun enjoying all that makes the middle school brain unique.

Be prepared to explore the benefits of a ‘pro-vulnerability’ classroom where feedback promotes student self-awareness and propels student self-advocacy and self-regulation. Bring your problems of practice to this community of learning and have research informed conversations to create solutions that work for you.

 

Learning Goals:

Students and teachers will gain the skills, tools, and attitudes required for a classroom where student self-advocacy, self-awareness , and self-regulation prevail.

Students and teachers will willingly embrace vulnerability and use reflective and feedback tools together to promote continuous growth.
