This workshop will help teachers learn how to develop a growth mindset and implement a growth mindset curriculum, which has been proven to lead to greater motivation levels and higher achievement, in their classrooms. You’ll leave with ready-to-go lessons that will help develop gritty, determined, self-reliant students who know that if they work hard enough they can and will accomplish great things.

Students entering the classroom with emotional, behavioral, or mental health issues are often at a disadvantage and struggle to keep up with the demands of traditional learning. Brains affected by trauma require a different kind of instruction—and a special kind of care.

Implement effective grading practices. Transform your school’s grading system into one that really shows what students know and can do. Your team will explore specific aspects of standards-based grading implementation, from identifying prioritized standards and creating proficiency scales to creating aligned high-quality assessments and revising report cards. Each step of the process is thoroughly explained.

During genius hour, students of all levels are empowered to explore their own passions. This workshop will show you how to transform your classroom into a place where students are engaged and want to learn, where creativity and motivation flourish.
