       Getting Students Ready for Rigor the                            Culturally Responsive Way                                                         

    When:  April 24, 2023  Webinar

    Time:  6:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. (Pacific Time)

    Institute Description: 

    Using the Ready for Rigor Framework as our guide, this day-long session will focus on building teachers' capacity to coach students away from dependent learning toward cognitively independent learning.

    We will begin with a short, high-level overview of the key processes for getting students ready to take on more rigorous content or to accelerate literacy skills.  Then we will do a deep dive into four (4) key instructional moves to integrate into daily practice.

    Institute Description:

    Expected Outcomes:

    • Understand the algorithm for building student capacity with culturally responsive pedagogies based on the Ready for Rigor(R) frame.
    • Use collectiveist learning principles in order to make any instructional strategy more culturally responsive.
    • Implement at least two (2) classroom structures and/or instructional moves consistent with collectivist learning principles to prepare the learning environment and students for increased autonomy.
    • Increase productive struggle without trauma or stress for dependent learners using habit formation and behavior design while still supporting the growth of on-grade level students.
    • Create a 90-day plan for shifting instructional practices.
    Who Should Attend? 
    • Teachers, teacher-leaders, coaches, and leaders whose districts are working to integrate culturally responsive pedagogy into teaching and learning, but who want to see more impact on improving student learning at the classroom level.
    • Educators who have done the personal work on increasing their racial literacy, and have read all of the Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain  (not just excerpts).  Add a copy of the book "Culturally Responsive Teaching & the Brain" for $36.95 (each).  

    Educators at all grade levels.  We will address instruction at the early grades, upper grades, middle school and early high school (9th & 10th grade).

        Teaching With Clarity: How to Prioritize and Do Less So Students Understand More

                 with presenter:  Tony Frontier, Ph.D.                         

    When:  April 24 and May 1, 2023  

    Time:  3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. (Pacific Time)

    Institute Description: 

    If doing more in our schools and classrooms were the answer to better meeting the needs of every child, then we’d have met every goal and closed every gap by now. We don’t need more activities, resources, initiatives, projects, or meetings. We need more clarity. Clarity emerges when we prioritize our efforts to do less with greater focus. With this focus, we empower our students to prioritize their strategy and efforts to develop deep understanding of the most important skills and content. Drawing from his book 'Teaching With Clarity: How to Prioritize and Do Less So Students Understand More' (ASCD, 2021) Tony Frontier will explain a practical framework and action steps that can be used to prioritize, and align, teachers' and students' strategic efforts to support responsive learning in every classroom. Participants will learn:

    Teachers, Instructional Leaders, and Administrators will learn:

    • How to identify and address the problem of curricular clutter, and the clarity paradox, to more effectively support teachers and learners.
    • The three value statements present in systems with a clear purpose. 
    • The three value statements present in systems that align purpose and process among administrators, teachers, and students.
    • The predictable benefits, (and challenges), to teachers and learners in systems that balance (or fail to balance) autonomy support and shared constraints.
    • How to identify evidence in your own department, school, or district for characteristics of systems that choose clutter vs. systems that choose clarity.
    • How to prioritize, and begin to plan to implement, action steps related to the six critical elements of systems that choose clarity for teaching and learning.

    Praise for ‘Teaching with Clarity’

    Teaching With Clarity would be an important book at any time, but it is especially timely today. As the education world emerges from the pandemic’s grip and looks to establish a “new normal,” the long-existing problems of clutter and lack of clarity have been starkly exposed. Tony Frontier properly addresses these as systems’ problems, including a lack of clarity about priority goals resulting in an overcrowded curriculum and inconsistency in the assessment of all important outcomes. The book’s value lies not only in its analysis of these systemic problems, but in the specific solutions it offers for prioritizing the curriculum, clarifying success criteria, and establishing systems to eliminate the clutter.

    If you read one book to guide your thinking about constructing the “new normal,” let it be this one.”
