Professional Development- Engaging Stations

Are you in need of an engaging professional development for your teachers? We expect our teachers to be engaging with their students but we rarely engage our teachers with their learning. Additionally, as teachers, we got away from using hands-on resources in the classroom when COVID-19 happened. Hands-on resources give students a tangible, experiential way for learners to engage with concepts, making abstract ideas more concrete and understandable. By physically manipulating objects or engaging in interactive activities, students can grasp complex concepts more easily and retain information better. Now it is time to refresh our memory on the hands-on resources we can use in the classroom or that we have buried somewhere. 

This Canva Presentation is a copy that you can edit and is centered around giving teachers engaging ideas to use for centers or rotations.  The professional development is editable and can be altered to fit your teachers’ needs.

Additionally, this presentation can also be downloaded as a PowerPoint or Google Slide. You will go to the share button in Canva and then the download button. After the download button, press the down arrow where the file type is and select the file you want to download it as. 

This PD is important because it gives teachers the following to think about:

• Varied Teaching Strategies: It introduces teachers to diverse teaching methodologies. Engaging stations often incorporate different activities, catering to various learning styles and preferences. This equips educators with a range of strategies to better engage and reach different types of learners in their classrooms.

• Active Learning Techniques: Stations promote active learning, encouraging students to interact, explore, and apply knowledge actively. Educators trained in these techniques can create dynamic, interactive learning environments that stimulate student involvement and participation.

• Differentiated Instruction: Stations can be tailored to accommodate different proficiency levels or learning paces within a classroom. Through professional development, teachers learn how to design and implement stations that cater to individual student needs, allowing for more personalized instruction.

• Increased Student Engagement: Engaging stations often lead to higher student interest and participation. By providing professional development in this area, teachers can learn strategies to create captivating, interactive lessons that capture students' attention and foster a love for learning.

• Encourages Collaboration: Stations often involve group work or collaboration among students. Training teachers in station-based learning encourages them to design activities that promote teamwork, communication, and cooperation among their students.

The topics and what is included:

• 15 Editable Canva Slides on Engaging Stations

• Real pictures of centers and students using the centers

Perfect for learners who have IEP's requiring class notes, correctly completed examples, and graphic organizers.

I was tired of writing things on the board over and over again. I was tired of printing out pages that students threw away. I was also tired of answering questions that students could find for themselves. So I made a book to make sure I wouldn't have to anymore.

Over the course of 2 months, I thought of everything that I would have to teach, explain, write examples of, and print, and I put all my tips and tricks into ONE BOOK. I printed this out and spiral bound all the pages for each of my students. Every time my students ask me to repeat something, I point them to the book.

I also use this in my class for reference during specific lessons as well. It's a game changer! I save time and I save my sanity.

It's the MOST helpful for all the little pieces students need to know for all the stages of writing: brainstorming, pre-writing, paragraphs, citations, plagiarism, and much, much more.

This Figurative Language Short Passage Set is a no-prep, printable close reading activity that's perfect for middle school and high school. This is a 206-word passage filled with 14 examples of figurative language, such as hyperbole, metaphor, simile, and personification. I’ve found that although my students can tell me the definition of these terms, simile is the only one they can truly pick out in a text. As a result, their writing is filled with overused similes that need work! This figurative language passage set is rigorous, uses higher-level words and phrases, and in addition to merely identifying the different types, students will be asked to discuss the impact it has on the reader, as they’re asked to do on standardized testing. Check out my other figurative language passage sets HERE!

Simply print and go! There is truly no preparation needed, which is why this set is perfect to leave for sub plans, bell ringers, homework, test prep, review or assessment!

*As an optional review activity, use my No-prep Four Corners Figurative Language Activity resource for a fun whole-group game, then use this passage set for assessment!

Activity:
Students can complete all three worksheets as part of a packet, but I suggest using one each day. If you teach allusion, alliteration, idiom, or onomatopoeia, you can ask students to include those in Task 2 where they will be asked to continue the passage using a similar writing style. I have left some blanks on the checklist for this very purpose.

Reflection:
The class can review the answers and comments as a whole group when the activity is complete. You’ll be surprised how much better they’ll get at figurative language after being exposed to some high-quality examples!

Engage your teachers just like your teachers engage their students!

Engaging professional development is crucial because it captures teachers' attention, making the learning experience more enjoyable and relevant. It ensures active participation, leading to better retention and application of new skills and strategies. By fostering enthusiasm and motivation, engaging sessions contribute to a positive learning culture, ultimately benefiting both teachers and their students.

These professional development presentations are all editable and can be tailored to the needs of your teachers and staff members.

This innovative professional development template is a great way to get started by teaching teachers how to implement engaging activities during math time with their current curriculum. It is editable to add details about your curriculum, pictures, etc. 

Engaging Stations Professional Development (Canva Copy Link)

As educators, we shifted away from incorporating hands-on resources in the classroom during the onset of COVID-19. Utilizing hands-on materials provides students with a tactile and experiential approach, offering a tangible way for learners to connect with abstract concepts and enhance understanding. Through hands-on engagement, such as manipulating objects or participating in interactive activities, students can more readily comprehend intricate ideas and improve information retention. It's now opportune to revisit and rediscover the hands-on resources available for classroom use or those that may have been overlooked.

Ron Clark 55 Essential Rules Slides (Canva Copy Link)

The daily focus is on one rule at a time, spanning from Rule 1 to Rule 55. You have the option to print a weekly slide to share with parents or use it as a classroom guide. Additionally, you can download the slide as an image for social media sharing or use it on your smartboard for teaching and modeling each week's rule. Each slide features the corresponding Ron Clark rule accompanied by a relevant picture. The editable slides allow customization to align with your school's preferences, including the option to replace pictures with images of your students exemplifying the rule.

Engaging Top Chef Professional Development Template (Canva Copy Link)

This Canva Template Presentation revolves around the "Top Chef" theme, featuring a teach-off challenge for teachers to showcase their expertise in the focused teaching strategy or best practice emphasized in the professional development. Within a specified time frame, teachers will research the topic, create presentations, and present in front of judges, fostering a dynamic and collaborative learning environment. Similar to the show "Top Chef," this format encourages teachers to learn from each other, gaining insights into diverse strategies for classroom implementation.

Number Sense Professional Development Template (Canva Copy Link)

This number sense presentation equips teachers with a variety of instructional strategies and activities to make mathematical concepts more accessible and engaging. This will enhance their ability to tailor teaching methods to diverse learning styles. Teachers can seamlessly integrate number sense concepts into the existing curriculum.

Transform your typical P.D. into an unforgettable journey with a Survivor-themed twist. Engage your educators in challenges that mirror real-life pedagogical scenarios, fostering teamwork and strategic thinking.

Addition and Subtraction Strategies PD (Canva Copy Link)

NEW IN 2020: Rigorous! Engaging! Thought-provoking! This 8-page EDITABLE document will invite your students to analyze the symbolic significance of colors in The Great Gatsby. This activity promises to elicit dynamic engagement from all students without compromising on intellectual rigor. The worksheets will challenge your students to dig beneath the surface of the text and generate profound interpretive insights!

What you'll get are 4 handouts focused on the colors that appear most frequently in Fitzgerald's novel: green, yellow, white, and blue. Begin this lesson by having your students to divide into small groups of 2-3 students. Invite each group to choose one of four colors. Then challenge each group to determine the symbolic significance of their color by analyzing a list of 6-8 quotations from The Great Gatsby. Finally, invite each group to present their findings to the class!

These color symbolism worksheets are designed to will help your students appreciate the dual symbolic meanings — or double-edged significance — of each color: for example, while green symbolizes hope and wonder, it also represents envy. An answer key for each color is included. But your students are likely to generate insights that go beyond mine!

These worksheets will come to you in a 8-page EDITABLE Word document which you can customize to the needs of your students! The previews for my resources provide access to dozens of pages of actual content. Click on the green “PREVIEW” button to see what you’ll get. . . .

This resource features a bundle of all of our lesson plans, materials, and activities for Paolo Coelo's inspirational best-selling novel, The Alchemist. Each product is thoughtfully crafted and allows students to think outside the box by delving deeply into the novel's themes, characters, and plot development. Lessons have all been classroom-tested and allow for differentiation while encouraging optimal student engagement. You will not find tedious lists of comprehension questions and vocabulary words in this bundle; instead you will find materials that will bring the novel to life!

Included in this Bundle:

⭐ The Alchemist "Silent Conversation" Quote Pass Activity

This product features a thoughtful and engaging activity for use during the study of The Alchemist. Centering around 5 different provocative passages from the book, this lesson provides your students with a chance to think, reflect, and respond to their peers without ever saying a word. This creative approach is a great way to differentiate instruction among your students and allows even your most quiet students to shine. I am confident that this no-prep lesson will become a must-do activity within your unit on The Alchemist!

⭐ The Alchemist Anticipation Guide & Lesson Plan

This product features an anticipation guide for The Alchemist, and a meticulously-explained lesson plan that is in my opinion, the absolute best way to approach a new novel. Using a non-intimidating method called "Numbered Heads", this activity will get your students thinking, writing, conversing, and reporting about themes you will be encountering during your study of The Alchemist.

⭐ The Alchemist Bell Ringer Journal Prompts

This resource features a set of 25 reader response journal prompts for use during your unit on The Alchemist. Each bell ringer is comprised of a quote from the novel and a thoughtfully crafted question that encourages students to personally connect with his inspirational words. Prompts can be used as bell-ringers (most popular and mean the first 5 minutes of every class for a month are planned for you!), summarizers, stations, full class or small group discussion questions, for homework, task cards, sub plans, as a filler activity… the possibilities are endless!

⭐ The Alchemist ESCAPE ROOM

This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length Escape Room for The Alchemist. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. All tasks are skills-based so that with this fun lesson, learning is not sacrificed. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game!

⭐ The Alchemist Quote Posters

Make your classroom pop with this set of 20 gorgeous posters featuring quotes from The Alchemist. Each 7.5 x 7.5 (square) poster contains a provocative quote from the novel imposed over a stunning photograph meant to inspire your students and motivate them to follow their dreams. The square format is reminiscent of Instagram and makes for an eye-catching arrangement on your wall or bulletin board. I suggest laminating the posters and using them not just during your Alchemist unit, but all year long!

⭐ The Alchemist Socratic Seminar Materials

This resource features lesson plans and materials to conduct a formal set of Socratic Seminars for The Alchemist. Socratic Seminars (or "Fish Bowl" Conversations as referred to in this resource) are higher order ways of assessing whether your students are able to understand and react to your class texts. These seminars rely on the power of inquiry and allow students to take the lead in their learning and discussion. The only problem? They require a great deal of preparation. Fortunately, this student-tested resource includes everything you need to conduct a structured and formal set of Socratic Seminars in your classroom surrounding The Alchemist... and no preparation is required by you at all.
