In this course, Ian Jukes introduces neuroscientificand psychological research that explains how the use oftechnology, including frequent interruptions and shifts in attention,impacts the functions of the brain. These experiences arere-wiring and re-shaping students’ cognitive processes. Consequently,in order to adapt, a fundamental shift in teaching isrequired to prepare teachers and students for the InformationAge. Educators will learn to identify and challenge unconsciousand outdatedassumptions about schools and learning. They will analyze andrevise their beliefs about what constitutes knowledge, criticalthinking, and problem solving as they adapt their instructionalpractices and assessment strategies to the requirements of thedigitized 21st century. Educators will focus on the eight corelearning attributes of their digital learners and the eight coreteaching and assessment strategies that appeal to millenniallearners. They will learn to develop research-based constructivistmodels that will enable students to think, explore, and developtheir own learning—to succeed not only in high-stakes testingbut also in the real world. Finally, educators will learn that informational,technological, and media fluency can and should betaught in a structured manner, embedded at every grade level, inevery subject area, the responsibility of every teacher throughoutthe entire school experience.register online at www.lec.edu/professional prodel@lec.edu 440.375.7366 1.800.533.499615COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Pyramid response to intervention (PRTI) seeks toremedy that situation—and has met with remarkable success—bysystematically identifying students’ needs, providing targetedinterventions, monitoring students’ progress, modifying interventionsas necessary, and thereby enabling all of a school’s or district’s studentsto learn at high levels. In this course, expert presenters AustinBuffum, Mike Mattos, and Chris Weber share their experienceimplementing PRTI. They take participants through the critical stagesof establishing professional learning communities (PLCs) withinschools and districts, using universal screening tools to ascertainstudents’ learning needs, and devising interventions for students atthree tiers. In Tier 1, the classroom teacher differentiates instructionto meet all of his or her students’ needs; in Tier 2, teachers begintargeting their interventions to meet the needs of those students notmet in Tier 1 (e.g., through small group work and systematic push-inand pull-out strategies); and in Tier 3, teachers call on the expertiseof others and practice one-on-one interventions for the remainingfew. The presenters emphasize the role of collaborative teamworkand instruct participants on how to make their meetingspurposeful and effective.

But student engagement is not chance,especially for students disinclined to be engaged; it requires ateacher’s careful planning and execution of specific strategies. Inthis course, educators will learn to create classroom environments inwhich engagement is the norm. Interviews with teachers and students,classroom footage, workshop activities, lecture, and theaccompanying eBook bring to life this critical subject for the educatorwho aspires to engage all of his or her students in all of their learning.Implicitly—and sometimes explicitly—students ask themselves fourquestions that determine how engaged they are in the classroom:• How do I feel?• Am I interested?• Is this important?• Can I do this?Educators will learn to facilitate such emotions for students asenthusiasm, interest, enjoyment, satisfaction, and pride, so that thosestudents can answer, “how do I feel?” in the affirmative. They will learnto raise their students’ energy levels, demonstrate a positivedemeanor, express their own enthusiasm, and use humor to create aclassroom culture in which all students are accepted and challenged.To promote their students’ authentic interest, educators will learnto use games, inconsequential competitions, friendly controversy,unusual information, and effective questioning strategies. To help theirstudents embrace what they’re learning as important, educators willstudy how to engage their students in setting goals, one of the primarymotivators for academic achievement. They’ll learn to incorporatecognitively demanding, real-world tasks into instruction that clarifythe relevance of what students are learning. Educators will also beprepared to help their students develop strong feelings of self-efficacy,not through superfluous praise, but through making students aware oftheir potential futures which they can affect through their own efforts.ED 5741 Elementary Reading Intervention StrategiesGrade Levels: K-6The cost for this 3 semester hour course is $499.Required eBook: 40 Reading Intervention Strategies for K-6Students (McEwan-Adkins, Solution Tree Press, 2010) included inyour course fee.Proactive reading instruction—in everything from phonics tocomprehension—is required both to prevent problems with and topromote authentic literacy.
