Many students struggle when engaging with written text, but will dive right into visual images. In this workshop, we will explore the process of analyzing historical paintings, and experience how this versatile instructional strategy can deepen understanding and build competencies. Drawn from Greenville's Southern Art collection, examples will address content from US/SC History including the Civil War and the Civil Rights movement.
Writing valid success criteria sessions will guide educators through the development of intentional student learning aligned with new ELA standards. The success criteria for any lesson should be visible, aligned, accessible, an indicator of learning, and defined. In addition to creating success criteria, educators will learn how it impacts designing effective instruction, providing feedback, and guiding assessment practices.
