Marcia Tate: Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites
What a privilege I had in attending this workshop. I longed to change who I was as a teacher and as a person almost immediately. Marcia reinforced what I already knew, that the whole child must be embraced and nurtured. Her passion and energy reignited the yearning within me to be beyond great. I have already begun implementing strategies in my classroom and have seen a drastic improvement in my students’ achievement and confidence. I allow my students to move every 20 minutes, create songs about facts they are learning, and laugh. I know that I am a better person because of the impact Marcia had on my heart, mind, and soul. Thanks Marcia!

Differentiation
Yipee! Finally Implementation strategies for differentiation. I have been in many workshops where the idea/concept was introduced, but have never been given actual ideas for how to differentiate. I was very excited to hear the speaker speak to Howard Gardner’s 8 Smarts. Our school is a Conversion Charter and Howard Gardner’s 8 Smarts along with Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is our focus. I am thrilled that we all are being encouraged to teach to the multiple intelligences. After all, it’s not how smart we are, it is how we are smart!
