This session will guide participants in designing a cross-disciplinary Project-Based Learning (PBL) project that integrates mathematics, reading, and writing through an engaging and authentic experience. Participants will explore an example of a DIY PBL unit that utilizes Google Sites, Canva, and AI applications as well as incorporates opportunities within the project to extend or scaffold elements. Participants will have the opportunity DIY their own PBL unit that incorporates multiple cross-disciplinary skills such as mathematical concepts, structured critical writing, and research skills while leveraging technology to create an interactive and meaningful final product.
In this session, teachers will explore strategies for using math manipulatives like algebra tiles, two-colored counters, and dice to promote exploration, enhance understanding of mathematical concepts, and boost students' confidence in achieving success in math.
This training introduces teachers to the core principles of Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI) - a trauma-informed approach that helps build trust, connection, and emotional safety in the classroom. By exploring the foundational understanding of trauma and the brain, teachers will gain insight into how to connect with, empower, and correct students in a meaningful way. The session focuses on supporting students impacted by trauma and promoting positive behavior through strong relationships and proactive classroom practices.
