What can I do to get my students more engaged with tasks and with each other? And more importantly, how can I get them to collaborate and support one another as they learn? There is no magic formula but there are structures and routines that we can build to have more supportive teams. Focus on skills students need in the real world and look at ways to turn the learning over to the students to mimic real-world collaboration and teaming. Attend this session, if you feel you have teaming foundations in place.

LSI and the Maine Center for Leadership and Innovation (MCLI) are partnering to increase professional and sustainable leadership practices within a consortium of school districts. LSI empowers schools and districts to transform core instruction and leadership practices, building systems’ capacity to sustain the improvements. Maine Leadership Teams build district capacity for change by bringing together instructional leaders from every level, from superintendents to teacher leaders: anyone who will be responsible for leading implementation. Only through the creation and development of great teams will we make substantive and lasting changes in our educational systems.
Through self-agency, students are able to move from an environment that is heavily teacher-directed to one where students self-regulate their own learning and behavior. Students develop the mindset that they are capable of controlling their own circumstances, executing plans, and effecting positive change for themselves. In this session we will explore how to create classrooms that restore agency to students through student conversations and rigorous learning while ensuring equitable instruction for all students. Participants will leave this session with practical tips for application in classrooms.
