Then: Either of These Two-Day Seminars Is For You
Often educators find themselves in a middle level school without a comprehensive and deep understanding of the nature of young adolescents. Our two-day experience is designed to help develop a clear vision and the skills necessary for “effective teaching at the middle level”. Learn strategies that address many challenges middle level classroom educators face every day.
Participates will develop age-appropriate instructional practices and strategies; learn relevant brain research; and ways to motivate young adolescents. You will also gain rationale for the “why” of middle level education and learn effective classroom management techniques.
Other topics:
- Development Characteristics and Traits
- Social/Emotional Implications
