Come learn what it means to become trauma sensitive and hear how the Northern Kentucky Community can support schools across the region in reaching and teaching our most vulnerable population. Kristen is viewed as a national trauma expert and you won't want to miss an evening with her as she shares strategies on how to help make NKY a trauma-sensitive place to work and learn! We hope to see you there!

2018 Fall/Winter KDE Continuous Improvement (Novice Reduction Workshops)
"Mind Shift: Moving from a Culture of Teaching to a Culture of Learning"
In this interactive 6-hour session, Continuous Improvement Coaches will assist participants in using instructional models as frameworks for creating highly effective lessons that exemplify a mindset shift from teaching to learning. As educators seek to develop a culture where learning is the core business of schools/districts, they will need to deepen their understanding of how to utilize meta-cognitive strategies to allow learners to autonomy for learning. This shift will promulgate and increase in student self-regulated learning as well as Collective Teacher Efficacy - both influences from Hattie's work. In addition, the session will provide an opportunity for participants to deepen their work with meta-cognitive thinking rather than with isolated strategies. EILA credit will be provided upon reguest.
Audience: Teachers, Instructional Coaches, Administrators
