| Overview: | |||||||||
| How do we create a learning experience for middle and high school students that honors the need for relationship-building, authentically connects to their lives today, and builds the knowledge, skills and dispositions to help address the world’s biggest challenges? How do we keep inquiry and curiosity alive at a time when it can often feel unsafe to take intellectual risks? And, how do we accomplish this all online?! Join Kimberly L. Mitchell, author of Experience Inquiry and undergraduate teacher at the University of Washington as she shares five key inquiry strategies for middle and high school teachers that work beautifully online. This will be an interactive, practical and fast-paced three-day workshop with lots of resources and templates to access and use in your classroom. |

| Agenda: | |||||||||
| The Art of the Online Workshop Like the students we serve, adult learners have specific needs when it comes to acquiring new knowledge and skills. This online workshop is designed to ensure that teachers and teacher leaders: are taught in ways the brain learns best; have time to practice as authentically as possible; see the immediate application to their work; leave with a plan of action; and feel supported and encouraged by a community of fellow teachers. |
|||||||||
| Day One (Three hours with 15-min. break and take-home assignment): | |||||||||
#1 Get Personal: How can we develop a strong, trusting community online (without too much eye-rolling and corniness)?
#2 Stay Curious: What are you still curious about?
|
|||||||||
| Day Two (Two hours with a 15-min. break): | |||||||||
#3 Ask More; Talk Less: What questions are you asking? What questions are your students asking?
|
|||||||||
| Day Three (Two hours with a 15-min. break): | |||||||||
#4 Encourage Evidence: How well do our students conduct due diligence, critically analyze propaganda, and maintain transparency in their own work?
#5 Extend Thinking Time: How do you protect time for your students to reflect, collaborate, discuss, and integrate new information?
