If You Can't Manage Them, You Can't Teach Them!
Kim Campbell

Creating a positive classroom environment is critical to ensure the learning of all students. As demands on teachers increase and students become more challenging, it is vital for teachers to create and maintain a positive, caring atmosphere. Join me to learn easy, practical tips for managing your classroom and creating a community in which all students have an opportunity to learn.

Powerful Learning Made Real
Nancy Doda

We believe there is a promising alternative to the usual way of middle schooling. We call this Powerful Learning—focused on shifting from passive learners to empowered, collaborative learners; content overload to meaningful contexts; subject fragmentation to integrated themes; and from grades to assessment emphasizing growth. While words may help you conceptualize this vision, we believe deep understanding comes from experience. Join us to experience Powerful Learning first hand.
