LAPS Summer Institute 2019

Ever want to transform your classroom into an environment where learning is at the center of all that happens? After my initial years of teaching I realized quickly that students were oftentimes not engaged in measuring their own growth as learners and as such the focus became primarily "grades". Students struggled to take risks, think deeply on topics and cheating was pretty predominant.Through a number of different tools and strategies I began to develop, my classroom culture has radically transformed into one where students engage in frequent self reflection and evaluation of their learning; grades are decided by students after reflecting on their ability to meet standards and my relationship with students has become one of trust and support. If you are ready to shift your pedagogical approach as to what "learning" can really be, then join me in this journey that is guaranteed to help you THRIVE as an educator and learner too!
