Graham Fletcher (Grades Tk-3)
As more teachers look to add high-yield tasks to their repertoire, the struggle to make it all work becomes real. Let's examine how problem-based lessons can be used throughout a unit and how we can harness their power to move student thinking forward. We'll identify strategies and explore tasks that help us find a healthy balance between application, conceptual understanding, and procedural fluency.
Participants will:
· Engage in grade-appropriate modeling tasks and understand how the implementation of low-entry, high-scalability tasks can be used to reach all students.
· Explore the use of 3-act tasks as a regular practice and identify when these lessons can be used throughout the scope of a unit.
· Understand how 3-act tasks and problem-based lessons can be used within the instructional framework (opening, work session, close) and the purposeful moves to orchestrate an effective closing session.
· Identify ways in which problem-based lessons can be used to monitor student growth.
· Connect 3-Act Tasks to conceptual learning and application and identify how this approach is instrumental in developing procedural fluency.
You can register without a Purchase Order in place. Enter "pending" in the PO# field. Once the PO has been processed, it can be emailed to Amanda Wirz (awirz@scoe.net). Your district will be invoiced after the event has concluded.

Co-Teaching Summer Institute 2025
In this institute teams will take a deep-dive into co-teaching, planning and practicing a variety of models.
Benefits of the co-teaching model are numerous, but there are five that can directly impact the day-to-day and long-term progress of students:
1.Reduced teacher-to-student ratio
2.Increased Instructional Options
3.Greater Student Engagement Time
4.Modeled Teamwork
5.Balance and Time Management
Knowledge-Based Objectives:
*Define co-teaching and its various models.
*Identify the benefits of co-teaching for students with and without disabilities.
Skill-Based Objectives:
*Develop strategies for effective collaboration and communication between co-teaching partners.
*Practice lesson planning that incorporates differentiation and Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
*Implement strategies for classroom management in a co-taught setting.
*Apply data collection and assessment techniques to measure student progress in a co-taught classroom.
Mindset Objectives:
*Foster a mindset of shared ownership and mutual respect in the co-teaching partnership.
*Reflect on personal teaching styles and how they complement a co-teacher’s approach.
*Cultivate a culture of inclusivity and high expectations for all students.
