#triconference24

In this breakout session, instructional coaches and school leaders will explore the art of coaching teams to foster a culture of continuous learning in their schools. Drawing on research-based strategies and practical insights, Michelle Marrillia will lead participants through effective coaching techniques tailored to build trust, collaboration and collective responsibility to increase student achievement. Coaches will leave equipped with actionable strategies and tools to guide their practice and empower teacher teams to achieve instructional excellence.

In this workshop, participants will cultivate a process for tackling critical questions 3 and 4 in a professional learning community: How will we respond when some students do not learn it?  How can we extend and enrich the learning for students who have demonstrated proficiency? 

This workshop focuses on how teachers can use basic restorative practices in their classroom to facilitate meaningful conversations with students.  This includes the use of affective statements and how to align conversations with the CASEL SEL framework.  The workshop will also show the connection between Restorative Practices and the district's Portrait of a Graduate.  Teachers will learn strategies to use informal affective questioning, behavior management strategies, and formal restorative conferencing.  Finally, the session will conclude with interactive scenarios where participants will be able to practice their newly learned skillset in a small group setting.
