Workshop #1: Teaching Through Rotation Activities
The purpose of this presentation is to introduce rotation
activities as a means to teach and reinforce literacy and
numeracy knowledge and skills. This workshop will
demonstrate how to facilitate center activities in a classroom
while promoting interpersonal skills and teamwork.
Workshop #2: Socratic Seminar in English
Based on the work of M.Ed Oscar Graybill, “Socratic Seminars
are a highly motivating form of intellectual and scholarly
discourse conducted in K-12 classrooms. They usually range
from 20-45 minutes, but can be longer if time allows”. An
effective Socratic Seminar creates dialogue as opposed to
debate using an inquiry-based approach to enrich text analysis.
This workshop is designed to give teachers a theoretical basis
for Socratic Seminar as well as practice conducting a seminar
and guidelines for seminar preparation.
Workshop #3: Songs and Games for the ESL Elementary
classroom
In this workshop you will sing new songs and play games that
you can integrate in your Elementary classroom. Your younger
students will love to go on a lion hunt and your older students
will enjoy playing “Guess my word; it’s on the word wall!”

with Middle and High school students in Mathematics class/
Des stratégies efficaces pour travailler avec les élèves du

discipline, academic engagement, mathematics anxiety, large

Les présentateurs partageront des stratégies pour travailler
avec les élèves du collège et du lycée en classe de
mathématiques. Ces stratégies seront divisées en trois
composantes: Avant le cours, pendant le cours et à la fin du

Workshop #5: Thinking Maps
