Use All 6 Sides: Hexagonal Thinking for High School Core Content Class

Tuesday July 9, 2024 10:45am - 11:45am EDT

Borrowed from the business world, hexagonal thinking allows students to "the big picture" connections on whatever subject you are teaching while also giving you a zoomed in view of the "small picture" connections as well! That are dozens of ways to do this, so come learn the SIX BEST! Come see the data from my own students, practice with your own lessons, and use all six sides of your brain!

PD Registration

Co-teaching is a collaborative approach to instruction in which two teachers, typically a general education teacher and a MLP or SPED teacher, work together to plan and then implement instruction for a class. This PD session will focus on effective collaborative teaching practices in a US History classroom for multi-language learners as well as students with disabilities. While the focus is US History content, the application can be applied to different content courses.
