The Flipped Classroom — Shedding Light on the Model + Its Options for Implementation The flipped classroom model is a studentcentered approach to learning. In this blended learning approach, in-class time is “re-purposed” for inquiry, application and assessment in order to better meet the needs of the individual learners. The framework goes beyond transferring lectures to videos and instead provides opportunities for differentiated instruction, student interaction and project-based learning. This course explores the advantages and disadvantages of the flipped classroom and the various options for implementing the process, which can range from a small number of flipped classes a year to a complete transition to the flipped classroom model.

Numerous free resources will be introduced including interactive videos and slide shows, screen casting, online debates, blogging, collaborative tools and useful assessment applications that provide ongoing student feedback.

presents more than 120 works of art with a focus on large-scale, gold leaf folding screens and ink paintings, hanging scrolls and folding fans, is the first outside Japan (and the first anywhere since 1979) to so fully examine the Kano painters’ legacy.

Course content is cross-curricular with hands-on cultural projects applicable to all grade levels and subjects; course includes lectures and demonstrations to provide context and understanding.

Children at Risk — Depression + Suicide in Youth According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), suicide is the second leading cause for death for youth 15-24 years of age in the United States. Suicide is also becoming more prevalent in children younger than 15. Educators need to be aware of the warning signs for depression and suicide to provide timely assistance to students who are suffering.

While it is important for school counselors and social workers to recognize the signs, it is also important for teachers. Since teachers have the most contact with students, they may see the signs sooner and be able to help students obtain the help they need more quickly.

Classroom Management for Inclusive Classrooms This course provides strategies for managing individual student and group behavior in the classroom. Develop a framework for understanding why children behave as they do in a classroom setting. Major concepts such as the drive to belong, private logic, birth order, goals of misbehavior, logical consequences, reflective listening, questioning skills and class meetings are explored. Examine types of patterns in students’ behaviors: attention getting, power struggles, revenge actions and students who appear to be academically disabled but are not.

Additionally, consider the links between the way adults respond to misbehaving children and how that response either feeds, extinguishes or has no effect on the target behavior. This course is a study of understanding for an inclusive classroom and examining adult response patterns to children’s misbehavior. Techniques include discussion, lecture, self-reflection and case study evaluation of real-life classroom situations. Practical application for K-12 teachers in all subject areas.

Instructional Design Instructional Design examines the process of teaching and learning as a delivery system. Basic theories of instructional design, along with research-based instructional strategies (Classroom Instruction that Works, Marzano, 2004), will guide the student in developing instructional practices designed to complement the areas of curriculum and assessment. Additional focus will be given to: (1) instructional design for specific student populations (i.e. English language learners, special needs, talented and gifted), (2) an exploration of how technology impacts instruction, (3) the ever-evolving role of the teacher, (4) the special relationship of formative assessment to instruction, and (5) the inter-relatedness of curriculum, instruction, and assessment in the teaching and learning process.

Social-Emotional Learning in the K-12 Classroom Emotional intelligence is a missing link in our educational curriculum. Teachers are given the tools for sharing academic lessons, but often they are ill-equipped to handle the stress that students bring with them. SEL prescribes students as complex human beings whose learning and behavior are just as impacted by their emotions — and their control over those emotions — as they are by the quality of instruction and discipline. However, social-emotional competencies need to be taught. The SEL approach involves teaching students how to manage emotions and behaviors to achieve one’s goals, recognize one’s emotions and values as well as one’s strengths and challenges, and show understanding and empathy for others. It also helps students form positive relationships, deal effectively with conflict working in pairs and teams, recognize and talk about their feelings, and resolve conflicts peacefully as a way to strengthen both academic achievement and emotional stability. The course provides teachers with a practical framework that incorporates morning and class meetings, literature, video examples, creative dramatics and conflict resolution to implement the non-cognitive skills that will stimulate thinking and bonds among students that will carry over into their academic curriculum.

Gifted Education in Inclusive Classrooms Explore techniques to improve instruction to all students in advanced programs and bring gifted education pedagogy into regular classrooms more effectively. Ideas from Renzuilli to Bloom to Torrance are discussed and demonstrated while participants investigate information on gifted research, gifted program models and gifted curriculum programming. Many school services for gifted and talented students are part-time opportunities outside of the regular classroom. In this class, consider methods to provide more occasions to enhance learning

opportunities within the regular classroom for these students. This course also looks at the theory that gifted education can address not only the needs of children who already manifest high levels of various kinds of intelligence, but may also promote the emergence and development of talent and intelligence in children who have potentials but may not have had the opportunity to develop them.
