"From Novice to Intermediate: Creating with Language"

Presentations:

"Planning for Learning: Making Every Minute Count"
Current research provides teachers with an increasing knowledge base that can be used to design units and lessons that will maximize learning in the classroom. Participants will analyze how the average student's attention span impacts what we do in the classroom and will explore the use of transitions to increase retention. Instructional strategies that increase student engagement will be highlighted as teachers participate in activities that require little additional preparation time. Classroom management strategies for student accountability will also be addressed.

and

"From Novice to Intermediate: Creating with Language"

The transition from memorized textbook language to an ability to create with language is a challenge for students and for teachers who want to incorporate strategies that assist in the process. This session will look at the key differences between a novice high and an intermediate low and mid learner. Participants will engage in activities that will allow students to use language in creative ways at the intermediate level.
