• NEW OFFERING! July 30,31 at Red Oak RO- High Impact Instructional Strategies within the Gradual Release Framework - Course #180174
• This course will provide an overview of the Gradual Release of Responsibility instructional framework. The Gradual Release of Responsibility framework provides teachers with common language to describe critical instructional moves, enhancing the collaborative capacity of a PLC or entire building.  Participants will explore all phases of Doug Fisher and Nancy Frey’s classroom model, and learn about specific, high impact instructional strategies that align with the framework. During the two day workshop, participants will examine instructional strategies to use during Focused Instruction, Guided Instruction, Student Collaboration, and Independent Practice. All strategies highlighted will have a high effect size, according to John Hattie’s meta analysis work.  Participants will also explore and experience ways to create student centered classrooms and enhance teacher student relationships. Establishing these conditions ensures a whole child approach to instruction and has a high effect size on student learning.
