Do It Afraid
|
| Crystal Brice,
Instruction and Leadership Coach, Center for Model Schools |
More often than not, principals are fearful of losing teachers when they provide critical feedback about teacher practice, in a climate of shortages and attrition. New curricula and traditional evaluation methods will not improve teacher practice or student outcomes. Coaching and meaningful feedback by the principal are necessary. How does one lead unabashedly amidst the current climate? Be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Do it afraid.

Don’t let the words “rigor” or "critical thinking" give you any negative vibes. In this session you’ll learn that it’s not a bad word, or a buzz word, or a synonym for “difficult” or “inflexible,” or an implication that something’s not working. Rigor is a way of thinking. Join Leadership and Instructional Coach Danny Konopasek as he partners with you to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate what rigor truly means in your lesson design. Walk away with a rubric to shine a light on great teaching and learning, how you can use it in your classroom immediately, and how to apply it with fidelity.

Successful Federal Grant Writing 101: A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing a U.S. Department of Education Grant that Gets Funded
|
| Dr. Howie Knoff,
Senior Fellow, Center for Model Schools and President, Project ACHIEVE Educational Solutions |
Writing a successful grant for the U.S. Department of Education is like peeling an onion. It’s not that there is a lot of crying (!!!). . . it is just that the writing and submission process has many, many layers. . . from how to read and decipher the original “Request for Proposals” (RFP) to writing the proposal so that you receive the maximum number of Reviewer points to the challenge of submitting the grant on the Department’s electronic application platform. Dr. Howie Knoff, Senior Fellow with the Center for Model Schools has successfully written and been awarded 15 different U.S. Department of Education grants during his career (over $40 million), and he has collaborated on countless others. He has written grants for a State Department of Education, a Research I University, and school districts across the country. He is currently the National Thought Leader and on-site consultant for three different School Climate Transformation grants. . . separate five-year $4 million grants that he wrote for districts in Michigan, Oklahoma, and New Jersey.
During this session, Howie will dissect the School Climate Transformation grant RFP, and show you. . . step-by-step and piece-by-piece. . . how to organize and write a successful grant. He will emphasize that the grant-writing process is not intuitive, and it is not like writing a novel. Instead, the process is about “getting the Reviewers’ points” and fulfilling the RPF’s requirements.

Ten Strategies That Foster Independence and Get Students Working (Happily) as Hard As You
|
| Berit Gordon,
Author, Heinemann |
Students improve at reading, writing, problem-solving, and more by doing those things a lot. But simply asking them to go off and “do” is rarely easy. Lack of confidence, stamina, or independence can lead students to avoid doing the work without a lot of support. Teachers may tire out from coaxing or managing an off-task class. It’s time to shift the balance so students engage happily in trying and doing, even if they don’t yet feel skilled. In addition, we will also look at ways to manage your classroom without “managing” so you can put your energy into teaching, not directing and redirecting. When routines are in place, then independent engagement can take off. Here are ten fresh and user-friendly strategies that help students feel capable and ready to take the reins.
