DESCRIPTION
Central OH ESC PD OfferingsTRANSCRIPT
Learning revised content standards and new language to define the standards can be daunting. This workshop provides an overview of a framework using familiar terms that all content area teachers can relate to, to help align their classroom instruction to the ELA or Mathematics Common Core.
Participants receive one free copy of either the ELA OR Mathematics version of the Common Core: Clarifying Expectations for Teachers and Students. Using this flip book, educators will join national presenters Bob Holman and Katy Bainbridge as they guide you through the following: 1. Examine the structure and content of the Common Core Standards. 2. Develop and strengthen strategies to integrate CCSS into the classroom using: enduring understandings, essential questions and learning targets. 3. Learn ideas for formative and summative assessment, student involvement and effective strategies. Participants are encouraged to bring their curriculum materials for planning. One-hour Ashland University graduate credit available for additional $249 if attending two content areas.
Date Options ELA Mathematics November 1, 2011 or December 1, 2011 November 4, 2011 or December 2, 2011

Developing and using graphic organizers to improve students' abilities to comprehend, organize and transfer content curriculum; 3. Examining literacy strategies for content area classrooms using print and multi-modal texts; and 4. Examining strategies to help improve student motivation and achievement.

Unpacking the Common Core
Project-Based Learning (PBL)
Project-Based Learning (PBL) 101
Interested in taking classroom projects beyond a fluffy dessert idea or add-on to your units?
Leave the “dessert” behind and focus on projects that serve as the “main course” – learn how
to design innovative, standards-based projects that that are both rigorous – and relevant.
The Buck Institute of Education (BIE) is the prominent nationally-recognized project-based
learner (PBL) provider in the country. Lead by a BIE-certified workshop facilitator, participants
will experience a specially designed high-quality learning process in which one actually
experiences PBL as a learner while designing their own PBL unit. As a result, participants will
get a better classroom feel for PBL while learning basic principles for designing, assessing and
managing PBL projects.
Through a combination of direct instruction, video analysis and hands-on collaborative work,
participants have the opportunity to plan, design and receive peer feedback on an engaging
and rigorous project using the BIE model and tools. Every participant receives a free copy of
the 2011 revised PBL 101 Workbook, which includes rubrics, planning forms, activities,
readings, etc. In addition, participants will have an exclusive invitation for an Ohio PBL wiki
that contains Ohio-focused, K-12 PBL units for teachers to share.
Graduate Credit
Participants may purchase one semester hour of Ashland University credit for $249

Project-Based Learning (PBL)
PBL 201 – Advanced Practices
The likelihood of changed teacher practice involves more than a one- or two-day workshop.
Opportunities for reflection and revision yield greater dividends for professional growth. This is an
opportunity to take your foundational understanding of PBL practice to a deeper level. It is designed
for those that have taken PBL 101, tried it in their classroom – and ready to return with specific
questions relative to their PBL experience.
A BIE-certified workshop facilitator will work with participants to provide time to share their PBL
experience and examples of student work – what worked and what didn’t? Time will be used to
seek solutions on improving the quality of a PBL teacher’s experience each time they practice PBL.
The agenda is semi-structured based on advanced techniques not offered in PBL 101 and common
issues associated with facilitating PBL. Example questions include:
• Is it truly student-centered? Was the guiding question really inquiry-based?
• Were my assessments really providing quality feedback or is it just a compliance check-list?
• How can I incorporate more 21st century skills into the problem-solving process?
PBL Instructional Coaching
A BIE-certified facilitator will work with you and your team on developing onsite instructional coaching visits for sustained support beyond PBL 101. The content and process of these sessions are based on the needs of the participating teachers. The follow-ups could include additional training, classroom observation, teacher coaching, curriculum review, or a review of student work.
PBL for Leaders Workshops
Want a mini-PBL workshop just for principals and other school leaders that may be supporting PBL teachers in their schools? These onsite workshops are designed to provide educational leaders with a toolkit of ideas and best practices that will enable them to create a teaching and learning environment that allows PBL to flourish in their school.
