Boot Camps – Push Yourself to Grow

We offer shorter after school and weekend workshops in form of intensive Boot Camps. These intense and expertly developed workshops are grounded in empirical research into successful learning practices in K-University and communities-based settings and aligned to the Common Core State Standards.

Forthcoming Boot Camps:

• The Creative Writing Workshop in today’s Classroom
• Co-Creating my classroom as a compassionate, caring community of learners
• Why the Common Core State Standards are Uncommonly Good (if we do it right)
• 21st century literacies in today’s Classroom
• Establishing an authentic and creatively confident Professional Learning Community at your school
• Moon Journals, Rock-Talking, Inquiry and Writing in Math and Science
• Teaching for Social Justice: Flipping our view to see what students can do instead of what they cannot
• Become a better Principal: Learn to see learning, guide and help your faculty to flourish
• Putting the Social in the Social Studies: Developing youngsters as inquirerers, readers and writers of histories
• Oral Histories as a powerful discipline for enlivening and authenticating a 21st century social studies curriculum
