Facilitated by Laura Terrill

What is essential? A time of unprecedented change gives educators a chance to rethink what they do and why they do it. Paradigm shifts related to curriculum, instruction and assessment occur not for the sake of change, but because current reality is different. This workshop will highlight two key principles from the Coalition of Essential Schools. “Less is more” and “student as worker, teacher as coach” in order to gain insights into what might be possible as we move forward. Apply these principles by determining essential functions with unit and lesson goals that address the start of what may be a very different school year. Design lessons that address the three modes for implementation in the classroom or online.

Story-Listening 
Story-Listening is a well-researched approach to language teaching developped by Beniko Mason based on Stephen Krashen’s Input Hypothesis. It uses time-tested tales to provide Optimal Input.
