Participants will actively engage with current educational research that is focused on tapping into student wonder and their ability to work together. Through implementation of effective learning targets, authentic student-driven discussions, and the power of self-directed learning, classrooms can increase the empowerment of self-regulated, highly motivated and intentional learners. This interactive workshop models effective teaching practices for teachers to take back to their classrooms for immediate implementation. While it is aligned with Criterion 1 and Criterion 2, it is not a repeat of previous trainings.
