PD Goals
The professional development experience will infuse direct instruction of concepts to teachers while modeling best practices. Ken has experience and expertise in creating PD goals around the following topics.
Differentiated Instruction: Teachers will learn strategies to efficiently and frequently collect data to provide students with more personalized instruction. We will learn strategies to analyze simple forms of data to better identify students beyond the traditional "high, medium, or low". Ken will help cut through the misconceptions of data and help teachers realize the science will enhance the art of teaching.
Small Group Learning: Ken will cut through the traditional structures for small group learning and help teachers build frameworks that actually work. The research indicated group sizes of four to seven students and model of mini-lesson, three rotations, and reflection are just not realistic for teachers actually in the classroom. Teachers will learn strategies to effectively group students and provide different mini-lessons and independent work for students based on the data. Teachers will be able to engage students more effectively and not feel restricted by traditional models of small group learning.
Kinesthetic Learning: Teachers will learn engaging ways to get students up and moving while learning. They will develop key strategies for infusing movement both to encourage wellness, review content, and learn new content. Teachers will feel confident in facilitating more active learning environments to create memorable experiences for students.
Technology and STEM Integration: Teachers will learn strategies to embed STEM and technology into everyday instruction. Through the use of his tagline blending objectives teachers will find avenues to layer in the technology and STEM into their everyday curriculum. Additionally, Ken will infuse the instruction of new technology and STEM into the professional development.
Building a new STEM Program: Ken has experience in consulting brand new STEM programs from the ground up. If your district is looking to add a new course or special program, Ken can help train teachers and consult on curriculum development.
