Summer Matters is taking a road trip! Representatives from the Summer Matters campaign will be traveling the state in a vehicle wrapped in the Summer Matters logo and speaking to media outlets about the unique value of summer learning.
Edutopia updated a great post last week on how teachers can help prevent summer learning loss. They focused more on reading than any other subjects, but they made some great suggestions.
This workshop will provide a variety of strategies and examples of curriculum to support hands-on learning for older youth. The workshop will focus on integration of multiple content standards embedded into activities as well as utilization of multiple instructional strategies.
Have you ever had the feeling you were drowning in a group full of behavior issues? Then this is the session for you. You will learn how to teach the expectations for appropriate behavior in middle school, deal with the challenging behaviors, and use strategies for establishing trust, refocusing problem behaviors, effective communication, eliminating power struggles, and minimizing potential triggers.
The Summer Matters campaign is excited to showcase quality summer learning programs across the state. The site visits will include orientations to the programs and opportunities to see staff and youth in action.
In this session we will play! Participants will be exposed to a variety of ropes courses, improv, movement and theater exercises that create community connections and promote storytelling, empathy and self discovery.
