This workshop provides aspiring superintendents with a realistic, practitioner-focused overview of the superintendency. A pre and post assessment tool focused on leadership skills will be administered and used. Practicing superintendents will serve as coaches and mentors. Participants will be coached on the presented knowledge, skills, and techniques. They will also be assisted with the development of a personalized internship experience and a competency-based portfolio.
This workshop provides educators with a solid foundation of the theory and practices of experiential learning. Educators will discuss how to implement activities, projects, and field experiences into their classroom settings, design curriculum that promotes hands-on learning, develop performance based and formative assessment tools and techniques, and discuss how these ideas can be tied to continuous improvement plans. Examples of ongoing assessment techniques will be provided because they are vital in helping educators meet the needs of individual students. Educators will spend much of their time in work sessions developing lessons that utilize experiential learning, as well as creating assessment tools to match these lessons.
Individuals will leave this workshop with a better understanding of experiential learning tools for creating experiential lessons, assessment techniques, and all the information necessary to design and implement hands-on lessons.
This two and a half day workshop provides principals with a realistic, practitioner-focused overview of effective teaching strategies and evaluation techniques.
