GCS Summer Academy 2023

The physical classroom environment is an often under-utilized aspect of our instruction and classroom management. Using research-based strategies from her book series, Deliberate Teaching Practices: Classroom Creation Guide, Brooke Cushwa helps teachers reflect on their practices surrounding all aspects of the classroom including desk arrangements, wall space, organization, and decor. By the end of this workshop, teachers will have prepared a classroom environment for students that is values-driven, organized, effective, and engaging.

For her book series, Deliberate Teaching Practices, Brooke Cushwa uses several research-based strategies to deepen professional development, including incremental, granular improvements; self-reflection; increasing personal power and ownership; and celebrating successes. This workshop will help teachers and leaders to utilize more reflective practices and two-way dialogue to encourage leadership, morale, momentum, and methodology both for themselves and other educators.
