Engaging K-8 Learners with Inquiry and Project-Based Strategies CRN: 26344 Course#: CI 751CD Credits: 0.5 Tuition: $70.00 Date: April 8 Time: 8:30 AM-4:20 PM Location: WSU Main Campus,

Corbin Education, Room 251 Instructor: Ms. Shari Hatfield Audience: Early Childhood, Elementary, Special Education, Middle Level, and Secondary Level Course Focus: Strand 2, 3, 5 Course Description: Inquiry and Project-Based learning are powerful instructional strategies that have shown increases in intellectual engagement as well as fostering deep understanding through the development of hands-on and minds-on activities. The 5E learning model develops the natural curiosity of K-8 students to provide an inquiry mentality of learning science, social studies and math. Using the NGSS and Common Core Standards, participants will learn to dissect the standards for critical content and develop engaging lessons. Through this professional learning course, participants will have the opportunity to observe and participate in lessons that correlate to the standards and are presented in an “activity before concept” method. This professional learning course will allow participants the opportunity to observe and develop lessons that can be utilized directly in their classroom and ultimately create an engaging environment.

Enhancing Literacy Learning through Movement

CRN: 26388 Course#: CI 751CA Credits: 0.5 Tuition: $70.00 Date: January 21 Time: 9:00 AM-4:00 PM Location: WSU Main Campus,

Corbin Education, Room 162 Instructor: Dr. Gayla Lohfink and Mr. Rick Pappas Audience: Early Childhood Educators, Elementary Educators, Special Education Educators Course Focus: Strand 4 Course Description: There is strong anatomical, cognitive, and functional evidence to support movement as a learning strategy. Movement is described as involving kinesthetic perceptions of information about one’s body and its position relative to the environment. Research indicates movement increases one’s heart rate and stimulates brain function, which facilitates a child’s ability to take in information and learn. Specific integration relative to the teaching of English Language Arts is attained through relevant doings or kinesthetic procedures of learning that anchor academic concepts. It includes purposeful movements, like gesturing to demonstrate vocabulary meanings or creative dramatizations that use bodily movements to communicate character traits. It may also involve seat changing or walking the room to orally think/share and write ideas with others. Studies have shown that reading content lessons enhanced with physical activity improved the academic achievement of elementary students. This presentation offers curriculum integrating movement, physical activity, and literacy in elementary education. Research of elementary teacher candidates’ implementation of integrating movement and literacy content via lesson planning is shown. Participants will not only engage in how to enhance literacy learning through movement activities, but will also explore and implement practices in their own classrooms. Participants will be asked to reflect on organized movement and management procedures in their own teaching experiences.

Corbin Education, Room 162 Instructor: Dr Jim Granada and guest speaker Ms. Jessica Padilla Audience: Early Childhood and Elementary Educators Course Focus: Strand 3

Course Description: This course provides teachers with the opportunity to design complex learning experiences based on discovery, inductive, deductive and inquiry approaches. Teachers will learn why the approach works, see examples of primary students learning when a teacher uses the approach, then have the opportunity to collaborate in the design of standards-based tasks and lessons to use in the classroom for each model. Teachers will be guided in the design of tasks that will also promote student use of individual talents, many of which may not be fostered when using direct instruction. Teachers will also dialogue about the pacing and assessment related to the complex tasks they design. Participants will select one of the four lesson plans they complete and customize it to fit their classroom, will teach the lesson, and then submit two reflections, one on the taught lesson and another on the remaining three models.

Non Verbal Classroom Management CRN: 26339 Course#: CI 751AG Credits: 0.5 Tuition: $70.00 Date: February 11 Time: 8:30 AM-4:20 PM Location: WSU Main Campus,

We will increase our awareness of the messages in our body language and consider together how to create a safe, supportive, productive classroom environment.

Corbin Education, Room 156A Instructor: Ms. Nicole Thomsen Audience: Elementary Educators Course Focus: Strand 5 In this professional learning course, elementary teachers will learn about free innovative technologies they can incorporate in their lessons to improve their teaching practices TODAY. Resources presented will enable teachers to easily add student-centered technology to their daily classroom routine. Teachers will formulate a standards based weekly plan implementing the technologies presented into center rotations. This will enable the teacher to monitor progress as a guide for students instead of the traditional classroom structure with a teacher-directed focus.

Resources covered will include Web 2.0 tools and interactive whiteboard SMART Notebook software that will engage students with learning activities. Technology used during this course will include laptops, video recording devices, a document camera, and an interactive whiteboard. If you have these devices available to you and you would like to learn easy ways to use them in your classroom, then this is the professional learning course for you!
