Leadership
One-day Institute
Every year bright, energetic young teachers enter their classrooms armed with lesson plans and a sincere desire to improve the lives of their students. Unfortunately, an alarming percentage of these teachers quit the profession after the first year because they cannot get the kids to behave.
In this workshop, we will talk briefly about the behavior problems teachers face in a typical classroom, but we will spend far more time discussing why these students act this way-in other words, what does the student gain by disrupting a class and disrespecting a teacher? We will work together to create a few simple, yet all-inclusive classroom rules, focusing on clear and effective consequences and rewards. We will also take a look at the theory of Transactional Analysis to clarify the motivations behind negative behaviors, so that teachers can learn to handle disruptive students without inadvertently creating even more problems. Each teacher will leave with an individualized plan for implementing an effective behavior management program in his or her own classroom.

With the rapidly expanding increase of knowledge about how the brain grows and develops, early childhood educators can align developmentally appropriate lessons with critical periods. The development of vision, language, emotions, and intelligence are explored.
The human brain is biologically organized for speaking not for reading. Using new findings from neuroscience, educators can support young developing brains to become reading brains. Strategies that have been substantiated by neurological studies will be shared. A brief, non-technical overview of early brain development will be included. The foundation for reading begins at birth!

Literacy coaching has swept the nation, and for good reason. Literacy coaching can dramatically increase student success by enhancing teacher decision-making and instruction.

These inquiry based lessons will guide participants in determining what student to know and be able to do. This structure will guide student in investigation and question strategies to get the most out of every lesson. This session will feature performance expectations, graphics, and other metacognitive aids that can be used by teachers and students alike to guide and assess growth in the use of language through science activities.

Every day secondary English/Language Arts teachers face students with different independent and instructional reading levels within the same classroom. In today’s climate of high-stakes testing, they consequently confront a seemingly impossible task: facilitating student mastery of the TEKS SEs when many students read below grade level and need differentiated instruction in order to develop the metacognitive skills necessary for “reading to learn.” The first step in addressing this challenge is providing middle and high school teachers with the tools they need to integrate direct instruction in reading into their lessons. This session addresses ways to do this without sacrificing the teaching of rigorous content and the attainment of high standards by all students.
