2 Workshop Parameters Silence Cell Phones Please Restroom Breaks Side Conversations Listening to Others Staying to the End of Each Day Be an Engaged Workshop Participant Stay True to the Workshop Objectives Have Fun Too!!!!!!!!

3 Workshop Objectives As a result of this workshop, each participant will:  learn proven strategies that are engaging and rigorous,  return to school and try the strategies in his or her own classroom,  develop plans for teaching the strategies to others,  establish demonstration classrooms when possible to model the strategies for colleagues,  create sample lesson plans incorporating the strategies, and  evaluate the effectiveness of the strategies using classroom and schoolwide data.

4 In Each Strand………. participant will : learn how to make their subject area more rigorous by creating challenging assignments and assessments, learn how to make their subject area more relevant by using real-world problems and applications, and learn how to improve relationships with students by using engaging strategies and cooperative learning.
