We anticipate all sessions to be in-person (P); however, in the event that this is not possible or a participant is unable to attend the in-person training day, a virtual (V) option will be available.

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES VS ACTIVITIES (0.6 CEUs)
This course is based on the research of Robert Marzano and John Hattie. It focuses on the difference between instructional strategies and activities. The ten most effective instructional strategies are explained along with research proven activities that correspond with each strategy. The information provided in this training has been proven to improve student learning and test scores.
MASTERING THE BASIC ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION FACTS (0.6 CEUs)
MASTERING THE BASIC MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION (0.6 CEUs)
Being “good at math” often referred to knowing basic facts quickly. But is that what defines a mathematically proficient student? What about the other skills—measurement, angles, fractions, time, etc.”? What role does knowing the basic addition/subtraction and multiplication/division facts playing in learning other content? This course will examine the trajectory, or journey, of students learning the basic addition and subtraction facts.
TRAUMA-INFORMED INSTRUCTION: WHAT TEACHERS NEED TO KNOW (1.0 CEU, 5 SEMIs)
We know many of our students have experienced trauma in their lives. Those traumatic experiences, along with the fear associated with COVID-19 over the past few months, have created an urgent need for teachers to understand and utilize trauma-informed instructional strategies as a daily part of their professional practice. In this course, participants will learn how trauma impacts a person’s development and education as well as several trauma-informed instructional strategies to meet the needs of all learners.
