Workshops will be appropriate for new and veteran Dialogue participants. Join us Thursday for an extended session reviewing MI theory and exploring how it can serve as a foundation for instruction and assessment and for deeper emotional engagement of the learner. We will assume basic knowledge of MI and begin with an outline of the basic principles of Brain-based Learning. The rest of the day will focus on practical applications of the theories in the classroom. Concurrent sessions related to classroom applications.
Rubrics can help.
This session will look at the design of rubrics and ways to use them effectively in assessment. Engaging students' emotions can help create interested, active learners. This session will examine various ways that video clips can be used in our classes to get students actively involved. Use macaroni, toothpicks, and other manipulatives to explore grammar, structure, and the writing process. Students use concept maps to improve reading comprehension, to improve note-taking skills, and to organize their own thoughts.
