Oregon Department of Education School Improvement Summer Academy Schedule

 

Pre-Conferences: August 5, 2015

Featured Speaker:

Mickey Garrison, Ph.D., Founder, Educational Support Services - Bio  "Generating Teacher Effectiveness: How to Improve Professional Practice and Student Learning"  - This workshop delves deep into a process that helps teachers understand the Common Core State Standards, how to use them to design lessons and then how to measure student learning by creating meaningful classroom assessments. Participants will examine how to use a structured Data Team process to design rigorous lessons that get to a depth of knowledge that students need to support their learning. Strong examples of how colleagues have successfully done this work will be provided. Bring your teams! Districts should come with directors, principals, lead teachers, and team facilitators.
