Promoting Connectedness & Relevance

Subject matter that is irrelevant and meaningless is easily ignored as simply…noise. The good news is that this training teaches you how to end the “myth of the struggle.”

Making curriculum relevant gives your students a chance to attach meaning and value to what you teach. Strategies that help students find their voice and explore your subjects are extremely valuable. Synectics, connecting relevant terms through visual and auditory methods, are some of the ways we help our students attach value and meaning to what we teach.

Differentiated Instruction Benefits for Administrators

 

  • Differentiated instruction allows teachers to meet students where they are and allows students an opportunity to more deeply understand.
  • Administrators know that each student is part of an appropriately challenging and rigorous learning environment that will benefit them now and in the future.
  • Administrators have the tools to support their teachers and focus on instructional leadership!
