Research has shown that students’ ability to comprehend content area text is critical to their success on standardized tests, in future education, and beyond. Readers must comprehend, extrapolate, and remember main ideas to integrate them with prior knowledge. Informational text also requires readers to discover organizational pattern in order to comprehend relationships between ideas. In this course, participants will learn about the basic patterns successful readers of content area text follow every time they face a new book or passage. Through the final project, participants will demonstrate understanding of the five key areas of reading instruction in the content areas. https://login.myquickreg.com/register/event/event.cfm?eventid=21874

Math Early Learning Series - Session 3A

Manitowoc School District Administrative Office - Admin Office

Recognizing that a large pile of candy is more than a small pile of candy is obvious even to very young children. However, a deeper understanding of the concepts of more and less develops gradually and deserves significant attention in early childhood mathematics instruction. When children are learning the relationships of more and less, the language we commonly use can sometimes get in the way. We will employ a sequence of questions designed to help your young learners manage comparing quantities with understanding. https://login.myquickreg.com/register/event/event.cfm?eventid=21635

Feb 25 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
CESA 7 - Meeting Room A

This day long workshop will provide in-depth presentation and discussion on American Indian Studies in Wisconsin (often referenced as Wisconsin Act 31).

Information about the Wisconsin American Indian nations’ histories, treaty rights, sovereignty, and cultures will be presented throughout the training. The goals of the training are to share best practices, information, model programs, and resources with administrators and teachers so that they are knowledgeable about American Indian Studies in Wisconsin and are able to meet the requirements of Wisconsin Act 31. Note, this 1 day workshop fulfills the DPI Stipulation under PI34.15 (4, c), the history, culture, and tribal sovereignty of American Indian nations located in Wisconsin.

Technology Integration

Your overall goal for each assignment should be to "show" me and demonstrate competency of what you are capable of planning and then implementing with technology. Each assignment should have as many suitable "bells and whistles" that are possible, even though the school you teach at may not have the same technology and mass color printing as an option. What you decide to do with technology after you complete your teacher licensure program is up to you, but for this course, always do more. Some components of course will change or be amended due to the overall “Foundation of Technology Literacy” of the students in the course and changes/updates in technology. https://login.myquickreg.com/register/event/event.cfm?eventid=21878

Technology Integration

Mar 14 from 4:45 PM to 7:55 PM
CESA 7 - Meeting Room A

Your overall goal for each assignment should be to "show" me and demonstrate competency of what you are capable of planning and then implementing with technology. Each assignment should have as many suitable "bells and whistles" that are possible, even though the school you teach at may not have the same technology and mass color printing as an option. What you decide to do with technology after you complete your teacher licensure program is up to you, but for this course, always do more. Some components of course will change or be amended due to the overall “Foundation of Technology Literacy” of the students in the course and changes/updates in technology. https://login.myquickreg.com/register/event/event.cfm?eventid=21878
