While each student learns differently, successful students have one thing in common – they take an active role in their learning.  With new technologies and strategies, it’s easier than ever for classrooms to invite EVERY student to gain independence through student-led learning.  This truly creates the Least Restrictive Environment – where students are fully empowered. Please join us as we dive deeply into this model that is transforming, not just classrooms, but also students’ lives every day. Learn new strategies to infuse Student-Led Learning into your practice – through personal interactions, data, and technologies for Google, Microsoft, and Apple that are changing learning. 

You’ll learn to:
  • Apply what Daniel Pink says in his book “Drive” about Purpose, Autonomy, and Mastery
  • Use a new strategy for your teens who are reluctant to try anything you recommend
  • Run a data walkthrough to show students how they read best and allow students to take ownership of their reading methods 
Learning Objectives:
  • Learn why 89% of educators say it’s very important for students to lead their own learning
  • Apply 3 core components of student-led learning in your practice
  • Understand three ways to use data to show students how they read best
