Successful Instances of Achievement by Low-Performing Students: What Lessons Can We Learn?
Facilitator(s): Seewan Eng, Gregory Peters

Workshop   +   Classroom Practice: curriculum & instruction   +   Everyone
Did you ever bask in the glory of an amazing project that successfully engaged and supported every single student, only to see predictable patterns of achievement return with the next assignment, and ultimately, the final grade report? We will discuss the possibilities for leveraging powerful teaching moments to impact far-reaching results: changing our practice for an entire year, affecting student attitudes towards work, and transforming patterns of achievement in our classrooms to reach more equitable outcomes. Using one teacher's storytelling unit as a case study, we will share the curriculum and examples of student projects--exemplary performances by students who ultimately failed the class--to lead a descriptive review protocol. Participants should bring their own related artifacts of student learning to the workshop to use in small breakout groups.
Date/Time: Saturday, 1:30pm - 3:30pm   Room: CC 612   Session #227
