Teacher Training Workshops
Positive Discipline
Children’s bad behavior indicates underlying problems that need to be addressed. Teachers explore primary causes of specific misbehavior and actions that
can be taken to remedy these causes. Children need to be taught so that they understand and follow social rules. But it is not necessary, and can be quite damaging, to hit or otherwise abuse a student. Evidence shows that girls and boys respond better to positive approaches, including negotiation and systems
of rewards, rather than punishment through verbal, physical, or emotional abuse.
Brain based learning
Brain-based learning has been called a combination of brain science and common sense. Some people are incredulous when they hear the term "brain-based learning". For them all learning and teaching is brain-based. However, advocates of brain-based teaching insist that there is a difference between "brain-compatible" education, and "brain-antagonistic" teaching practices and methods which can actually prevent learning. The brain’s vast intricacy needs
specially designed brain-fitting and brain-compatible instructional settings and procedures.
Collaborative learning
The concept of collaborative learning has been widely researched and advocated - the term "collaborative learning" refers to an instruction method in which
learners at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal. The learners are responsible for one another's learning as well
as their own. Thus, the success of one learner helps other students to be successful.
Diverse Learners
Nowadays you need to consider the diverse strengths and needs of students in your classroom related to culture, language, learning ability, interests, and approach to learning. This workshop helps you think about how you address the differences among your students and promote effective learning.
Homework and assignments that work
Research has begun to focus on the relationship between homework and student achievement and has greatly strengthened the case for homework.
Many teachers and parents agree that homework develops students' initiative and responsibility and fulfills the expectations of students, parents, and the public. Studies generally have found homework assignments to be most helpful if they are carefully planned by the teachers and have direct meaning to students.
Integrating ICT in the Classroom
If you are a teacher looking for innovative ways to deliver the curriculum, this training session offers high impact professional development, direct from practitioners who are leaders in their field. You will take away powerful and easily accessible ICT applications to enhance learning in math, science, music, and languages and design and technology. The result is high quality training designed to have an immediate impact on your classroom practice.
Introduction to learning through projects
Project learning is a dynamic approach to teaching in which students explore real-world problems and challenges, simultaneously developing cross-curriculum skills while working in small collaborative groups. Incorporating projects into the instructional program can be a wonderful way to motivate children to do
what good learners do: ask questions, use a variety of resources to seek answers, and take control of their learning in terms of process, direction, and
progress.
Practical assessment and grading
Being able to assess a child’s language ability and reporting it is essential to both teachers and parents. Many educators have come to recognize that
alternative assessments are an important means of gaining a dynamic picture of students' academic and linguistic development. It is particularly useful with English as a second language students because it employs strategies that ask students to show what they can do. The main goal is to collect evidence about
how students are approaching, processing, and completing real-life tasks in a particular strand.
Practical innovative learning activities
Art, music, toys are among the most encountered development tools in a child’s daily life, yet they are the least used as an input for learning in the classroom. No
modifications are made to the existing curriculum or school expectations rather the workshop expands the learning to using familiar objects that will increase child motivation and develop physiological skills in addition to learning.
Selecting and using readily available materials for learning
Materials that can be used for teaching and practicing speaking, reading and writing are readily available in every home. These materials provide students
aged 11 to 16 with authentic inputs and context alongside their regular textbooks.
Using Multiple Intelligences Assessment to Promote Student Achievement
Research indicates that using multiple intelligence assessment has a positive impact on student achievement, leadership and motivation. Higher motivation
on assignments and higher achievement are reached when students are given the opportunity to show understanding of curriculum in ways that match their respective learning styles. Consequently behavior can become more positive in the classroom.
Designing Learning Activities That Motivate and Enhance Learning
The web has a plethora of learning activities, but what works for one teacher may not work for another. Activities that motivate and enhance learning are
more effective when they have been designed with a particular group of students in mind. In this workshop, participants learn about the fundamentals of designing learning activities that are aligned with the curriculum and the same time motivating for students.
