Simplifying Secondary Classroom Management: A Strategic Approach
Using a secret sauce of trauma-informed practice, more than 20 years of classroom anecdotes, and well-documented best practice of some of the most influential voices in the business, we will explore effective classroom management techniques for adolescent learning environments. Attendees can expect to actively simulate strategies on more complicated people than our students and leave with specific, proactive techniques (beyond a directive to "build relationships") for immediate implementation in the classroom.

Leading Students to Critical Literacy in a Digital Age
Using the text "What Students Need from Us to Fight Fake News" as our guide, we will look at specific strategies to build student competence and confidence in the ability to discern fact from "information pollution" in a digitally dependent world. Being a critical consumer of information, reader, and thinker is more complex than ever, and the stakes have never been higher for literacy educators to lead. Several copies of the text will be gifted to attendees at the close of the session.
