Description:
A Critical Skills Institute is truly an immersion into a Critical Skills Classroom. Under the guidance and leadership of Master Teachers, participating educators experience all dimensions of the model firsthand. In the Institutes, educators explore problem-based, experiential, collaborative, and standards-driven learning. Over five days, they examine how these methodologies can be successfully integrated, focusing on the role of the teacher in designing curriculum, guiding students, and assessing performance. Participants develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to build and maintain a dynamic and responsive classroom.
Level 1 Institutes examine strategies for:
• developing the classroom as a collaborative, problem-solving community
• using the experiential learning cycle to support student learning
• setting and maintaining criteria for quality work
• targeting the Critical Skills alongside the curriculum
• Turning curriculum into different types of problems to solve that provide a meaningful context for learning
• using simple performance-based assessment tools
• planning and structuring student exhibitions of learning
• guiding student reflection and debriefing processes
Cost: $950 per person (including room and board) (up to $650 of this fee can be waived for the first participant from each school)
