A daylong professional development worshop
May 13, 2015 at the University of Central Florida, Orlando
When teachers strive to achieve their personal best, their students benefit because instruction improves and students are inspired by their teachers’ pursuit of excellence. In his best-selling book High Impact Instruction: A Framework for Great Teaching, Jim Knight presents high-impact, research-based instructional strategies gleaned from over a decade of working with instructional coaches. In this daylong workshop, the author and frequent presenter provides an overview of these strategies, which are organized around the themes of Instruction, Content Planning, Formative Assessment and Community Building. Participants will be empowered with practical tools to improve their practice.
The workshop is geared toward teachers as well as school administrators who are responsible for structuring the school environment, designing professional learning, and supporting teachers, and instructional coaches who work with teachers to implement new practices.
Presented by National Professional Resources and FIRST Educational Resources through Comprehensive School Solutions, the workshop will take place on May 13, 2015 from 8:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando, Florida. Registration fees are:
