Through humour, storytelling and interactive processes, Dr. Marcia Tate will share the research and strategies that engage learners and develop the academic achievement of all students. These days will link to Dr. Tate’s prior work in the district (March 2007) as well as the Linking Thinking and Literacy Day (October 2007) presented by Consulting
Services.
Classroom teachers and school leaders will engage in dialogue that will:
- deepen their understanding of the connection between brain research and learning
- link the purposeful use of strategies that promote student engagement with essential areas of instruction across the curriculum;
- uncover ways of infusing these strategies into learning communities in order to meet the diverse needs of all students.
