Saving our Adolescent Learners
DESCRIPTION
Educators expect students to arrive in middle school with adequate reading and writing skills. The demands of the curriculum assume adequate reading and writing skills. Providing appropriate instruction for students who are reading and writing at two or more levels below their age or grade level requires more than teacher knowledge of the struggling reader and writer. It requires administrators support, planning for a supportive school community filled with skillful instruction.
School and classroom cultures are a significant driving force in the success or failure of students in middle and high schools.
In this session we will look at:
• tips for administrators to successfully enhance the school culture
• effective planning strategies to give students the opportunity to make gains
• engaging tools that allow students to forge connection with text, align and use strategies in the content areas, as well as gain deeper understanding from their reading experiences.

Creating a Whole School Culture of Change
DESCRIPTION
For many, many, years education has ridden a collision course with commerce avoiding the wave of accountability and scrutiny, but with increasing concerns about the quality of American education, schools are now in the firing line.
School districts, boards, principals, and teachers are locked in the daily battle of justification and results driven agendas. The reactions to this have led some schools to totally restructure, whereas other schools have embraced the opportunity for change. Successful schools have opted for the development of a consistent, connected and transparent school culture to elicit, strengthen, and maintain success. For some schools this means the elimination of a “toxic” culture, for others it is just a case of a school redefining itself. Either way, the results can be powerful and long lasting.
In this seminar, AUSSIE, Brian Green, will show you:
• how schools have achieved startling results by addressing the development of culture in their schools;
• structures, plans and results that have supported the development of an enduring cultural change within schools;
• how achievement was supported to ensure powerful and long lasting results.
