This course provides support for educators as they implement a dynamic science program that blends discussions of current theoretical concepts with hands-on science activities.

In this course, educators work collaboratively to create a comprehensive plan and foundation to positively impact student engagement based on a model that has proven successful in preparing their learners for success at the post-secondary level.

In this course, participants learn how to address the language, literacy, and learning needs of English Language Learners in their classes through active, hands-on experiences that model the concepts and strategies that are to be applied in their schools.

This course is designed to increase the competency, confidence, and compassion with which mainstream teachers and college instructors can support the variety of language backgrounds present within their classrooms. Participants get an overview of how to evaluate and manage a literate environment that is accessible for students from a diversity of language backgrounds while focusing on the development of curriculum plans that integrate content and language.

Participants examine the learning experiences of two specific students and reflect on the implications of this course learning for all students in their classrooms. Based on The Reading Writing Talking Processes and The Lenses of Learning, participants explore ways to construct learning experiences that help their students grow to be co-constructive, resilient problem solvers.

This course helps participants make fundamental changes in how they react to stress through a series of techniques grounded in a traditional form of meditation known as mindfulness.
