Jennifer Gonzalez, Cult of Pedagogy
National Board Certified Teacher, author, and Editor-in-Chief at Cult of Pedagogy, Jennifer Gonzalez blends her broad pedagogical and technical knowledge, down-to-earth honesty, and sense of humor to deliver inspiring keynotes and practical lectures and workshops.
In her everyday work, Jennifer digs into the topics most teachers don’t have enough time to study deeply on their own: teaching methodology, classroom management, learning theory, and educational technology. Then she extracts the most valuable information from it all and shares it with teachers so they can run with it.
The focus of this workshop will be two-fold: the first hour will explore Tech and the Brain: Matching Tools with the Research on Learning. The second hour will discuss The Emotional Climate of Your Classroom.
DUE TO SAFETY GUIDELINES, THIS COURSE WILL BE HELD VIRTUALLY.
For participants that are unable to attend the live workshop, this session will be recorded. Registered participants can access this content in our Region 13 Canvas LMS.
TECH AND THE BRAIN: MATCHING TOOLS WITH THE RESEARCH ON LEARNING
The research on how we learn best is coming in all the time: We are discovering more powerful ways to help students process information at higher levels, anchor concepts in long-term memory, and transfer ideas to other contexts. Now it's time to leverage technology to make these practices even more effective. In this session, we'll look at a collection of researchbased learning principles and how each one can be boosted by pairing them with specific tools.
THE EMOTIONAL CLIMATE OF YOUR CLASSROOM
The emotional climate of a classroom significantly impacts students’ academic achievement. If you struggle with classroom management, unmotivated students, or lessons that just don’t go well, the problem might have something to do with climate. This session will examine four areas that affect classroom climate—academic safety, validation, connection, and modeling—and specific ways you can make improvements in each area.
