Work-Based Learning as an Instructional Strategy FULL
Friday January 31, 2025 8:30am - 9:30am PST
The presentation is multifaceted. First, the presentation will cover the basic tenets and philosophies of work-based learning utilizing the Santa Rosa City Schools continuum of experiences previously developed in partnership with industry experts. Generally, when students participate in work-based learning, they often experience feelings of embracement due to the relevance of the real-world application, engagement as they actively participate in tasks with practical outcomes, and empowerment by taking ownership of their learning and developing valuable skills that build confidence in their future career paths. The second aspect of the presentation is to reinforce an interactive and collaborative approach to curricular design, allowing educators to workshop common themes for the ongoing development of experiences contributing to high–quality CTE pathways across school sites in the district.

Classic, Challenge, and Expert Modes: Differentiation Made Easy LIMITED
Friday January 31, 2025 12:45pm - 1:45pm PST
Providing differentiation for advanced learners is often overlooked in our trainings; we know how to scaffold down, but what do we do with students who come to us already able to meet our standards? How do we keep from ignoring the 'middle-child' who is on track but working at a slightly different pace from their peers?

While this sounds like creating three different lesson plans, the reality is that we can take the same lesson and think about what comes next for our students, which is directly related to the 'why do we need to know this?' question we so often field. Once we reframe our questions, we can easily provide students the tools and supports they need to engage with material and understand how it applies outside of the four walls of our classrooms.
