This course will help teachers learn effective ways to work with, and often learn from, these assimilating students of diverse cultural backgrounds. Participants will focus on effective strategies to deal with our ever-changing school communities. Educators will discuss language collaboration, how to plan your curriculum and focus your lessons, and how to successfully promote your lower functioning students due to language or cultural barriers. Many techniques will be shared on how to educate your multicultural, diverse, classroom, and move these students to the next level. This course is a must for all educators levels K-12.

No matter what subject you teach or what topic you may bring up in class, having your students communicate with each other is key to a successful educational environment. The “Turn and Talk” is a way for students to share how they feel about a lesson, a quote, a story, a historical event, etc., by simply turning toward a neighbor and sharing ideas. This course will focus on how to use Turn and Talk ideas as a way for students to center their learning and focus on higher order thinking. Educators will practice the Turn and Talk so it can be modeled for their students as well as collaborate to create appropriate Turn and Talk topics. This course is designed for educators of all subject areas grades K-12.
