Session Descriptions
Checking for Understanding in a Multi-Tiered System of Support (HS - Room N324)
Participants will examine and share the role of checking for understanding in an MTSS system, specifically how to use daily checks to set clear learning goals, provide feedback, and influence instruction. This session will include a district picture of proposed shared practices for grading and reporting as well as an opportunity for collaboration and sharing of checking for understanding techniques. Please bring a computer or tablet to this session.
Developing and Implementing Enrichment Strategies in a Multi-Tiered System of Support (HS - Room N342)
Participants will explore effective advanced learner strategies that work across grade levels and content areas. Practical approaches in the classroom will be designed and discussed. Participants will have time to create and share an enrichment task for an upcoming unit. Please bring a computer or tablet to this session.
Developing Academic Tenacity through Differentiated Support (HS - Room N343)
Participants will explore definitions and examples of academic tenacity and its role in supporting student learning. Collaborative work will include indicators of academic tenacity and how to create learning environments which will develop tenacious students.
Using Technology to Support MTSS (HS - Room N327)
One of the benefits of incorporating technology into your classroom is the ability to easily differentiate tasks and outcomes for students. Teachers will explore different levels of technology integration and will have the opportunity to collaborate and plan lessons incorporating technology into lesson designs.
Writing to Learn: Shifting from Engagement to Processing (HS - Room N328)
Participants will explore Writing to Learn’s role in aiding students’ processing of academic content. Participants will discuss analysis of writing to learn assignments, reflect on how we can respond to students’ learning and plan for differentiated instruction. Participants will be provided a large segment of time to collaborate and develop Writing to Learn activities for upcoming tiered instruction. Please bring your laptop to this session.
Putting it All Together: MTSS, GRR, Standard, Purpose, Task (HS - Room N325)
Participants will collaborate to design exemplary lessons to share with other SE Polk teachers. Participants will engage in a quick overview of all the pieces and parts of a model lesson, review teacher created model lessons, and then work collaboratively to design and share model lessons that incorporate MTSS, GRR, Standard, Purpose, Task, and even some SAMR. Bring your laptop and a lesson you’ve taught in the past that incorporates differentiation to add to our district bank of exemplary lessons.
