Don’t miss this rare opportunity to learn directly from one of today’s top experts on deeper learning – Dr. Catlin R. Tucker is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, international trainer, and professor in the Masters in the Arts of Teaching Program at Pepperdine University.
Teachers must partner with their students to create learning environments that maximize the available technology and encourage students to take a lead role in monitoring, assessing, and reflecting on their learning. Too many teachers are exhausted and disillusioned with this profession because they are doing the lion’s share of the work in classrooms. It’s time to rethink our workflow, embrace new teaching and learning models that leverage technology, and shift ownership of learning over to students.
This workshop will explore a partnership model and dive into strategies teachers can use to encourage metacognitive skill-building, provide more meaningful feedback, and reimagine grading and assessment.
The spots for this workshop are limited, so be sure to register early!
All participants will receive a FREE copy of Balance with Blended Learning.
