Learning Forward Virginia proudly presents:
Designing Inquiring Minds
Join your colleagues from across Virginia on Tuesday, July 28, 2015, at the Chesterfield County Public Schools Thomas Fulghum Conference Center for Designing Inquiring Minds. This five-hour workshop is led by Ron Nash and Jenny Sue Flannagan, well-known educators across Virginia.
Active engagement is a necessary component in the learning process. Working collaboratively, students can conduct the kind of authentic research that begins with observation and wonder. Jenny Sue Flannagan and Ron Nash will model activities that harness the power of your students' inquiring minds.
Session participants will leave with over a dozen specific, engaging strategies that will benefit students across grade levels and in specific content areas. Along with simple science experiments, language arts, social studies, and math activities will be shared. These strategies and activities are supported by research from John Hattie and other educators. The material is geared to ALL K-8 educators.
This will be a highly interactive session that will have you on your feet and working in collaboration with dozens of others throughout the day. You will stand, move, pair, share, laugh, and learn in this fast-paced and fun five hours. Lace up your sneakers, grab a pen, and join Jenny Sue and Ron for a down-to-earth and highly practical day of learning. Registration for this learning opportunity opens April 10.
