    Creative Educator, Creative Students

    The goal of every lesson is a transfer of knowledge from the lesson to application. The method we select for assessment defaults to the method of our content delivery. If we instruct with a slide presentation narrated by us and sprinkled with questions, then our students default to a multiple choice test and essay. There is risk in trying a new lesson, and a greater risk in trying a new assessment. Join the conversation as we learn from Jeff Hampson, a high school history teacher, and the concept of the "unessay."

    Concurrent Teaching...What is it?

    Stations rotation, flipped classroom, individualized playlist, live-streamed Zoom classes; these are the buzzwords behind concurrent teaching. We are entering month three of virtual instruction, and on the horizon is a new challenge: how to blend virtual and in-person instruction. The task seems daunting, and honestly terrifying, but what if this obstacle is really another 2020 opportunity. Join us in our series on concurrent teaching. We will share the good, the bad, and the possibilities from teachers and instructional coaches living concurrent teaching in real life.
