Webinars and Workshops

Facilitating Student-Led
​Learning Spaces

Teachers have a great deal of responsibility in and out of learning spaces so perhaps shifting from teacher-controlled to student-led environments is the way to go. Learning spaces are usually pre-set leaving students with no say in developing classroom routines. Increasing ownership and responsibility in their learning environments can increase student engagement.

Teaching staff can expect to:
  • Gain insights into their own actions and attitudes that can help or hinder student-led learning spaces
  • Learn about 5 actions that can support student agency and ownership
  • Think about and make a plan to shift actions and ideas to open the learning space to student decision-making

Redesigning Learning Engagements 

Understanding what students can and want to learn will drive engagement, so why not plan that way? Use your existing plans to find spaces to open some opportunities for increased student engagement. Teaching staff will dig into aspects of student engagement and how to design effective learning opportunities that will increase student investment in learning. All things that can be built into instruction at any level, with any content, right away.
​
Teaching staff can expect to:
  • Dig into student engagement, student-centeredness, interest and agency in learning
  • Evaluate current student engagement
  • Learn how to redesign learning opportunities
  • Actively engage in rich student-centered protocols
  • Explore the option to build in new learning opportunities to increase student engagement

Developing School or
​Classroom Culture

Establishing a strong culture in a leaning space is essential for the success of teachers and their students. In this workshop, teaching staff will evaluate aspects of developing positive school and/or classroom cultures.
​
Teachers can expect to:
  • Explore six aspects of classroom culture building 
  • Evaluate aspects as a framework to create positive learning environments
  • Systematically evaluate current classroom culture
  • Strategically determine areas to develop in existing classroom culture
  • Develop a strategy bank for enhancing your classroom culture with your students

Taking Student Learning Global 

Our world is an interconnected place, so why would we ignore that aspect when we teach? In this workshop, teaching staff will learn about the power of taking learning beyond the classroom. Teachers will explore ways to open learning for students, which will then allow them to share their learning to a larger community.

Teachers can expect to:
  • Reflect on current student engagement and engagement practices
  • Learn about the power of student interest, voice and agency in learning
  • Explore examples of the power of global connections between students
  • Think ahead & plan new learning opportunities to increase open spaces for student to create projects for a larger audience
