Workshops

• Visible Learning^plus Foundation Series. Begin your Visible Learning journey by building foundational knowledge of the Visible Learning research. Teachers and schools will be introduced to tools for gathering evidence in their schools and classrooms and to create a plan for making learning visible for all students.
• Visible Learning^plus Inside Series. Delve more deeply into a sprecific strand of Visible Learningplus or take the next step after the Foundation Series. Our team of consultants can help your educators master the practices that create the biggest gains in achievement for students by focusing on their areas of greatest need.
• Overview of Rigorous Reading. Call it close reading, call it deep reading, call it analytic reading—call it what you like. By any name, it’s a level of understanding that students of any age can achieve with the right kind of instruction. In this seminar, participants will find an instructional plan articulated so clearly, and so squarely built on research, that teachers, schools, and districts need look no further.
• Overview of Visible Learning in Literacy. This workshop demonstrates how using the right approach at the right time can help you more intentionally design classroom experiences that hit the surface, deep, and transfer phases of learning. This workshop covers Visible Learning research, its connections to surface, deep, and transfer learning as it relates to literacy, the most impactful approaches to use in each stage of learning, and the tools for measuring your impact on student learning.
• Surface Learning. Surface learning isn’t superficial. A key foundation of surface learning is skills and concept development which sets the stage for deeper learning. This workshop focuses on practical approaches for surface learning through acquisition and consolidation using the Visible Learning research. Walk through different approaches and participate in demonstrated techniques that promote surface learning.
• Deep Learning. Once students have consolidated surface learning, teachers can encourage learners to plan, investigate, and elaborate on their learning. This will nurture deep learning. This workshop focuses on practical approaches for deep learning using the Visible Learning research as a guide. Walk through different approaches and participate in the exercises that promote deeper learning.
• Transfer Learning. All learning is transfer learning, provided understanding is involved. This workshop explores the importance of transfer learning, the paths that transfer learning can take, and the conditions needed for transfer. This workshop will also review strategies for teaching students to organize and transform conceptual knowledge. 
• Determining Impact. What if we talked a bit less about teaching, and a bit more about learning? This workshop explores more deeply the importance of the effect sizes of different high impact approaches, and how to calculate your own effect size for classes and individual students. Learning how to determine your impact will build your sense of efficacy as well as empower you to share with peers and build collective teacher efficacy—the most effective strategy of all! This workshop will also review effective components of successful Response to Intervention (RTI) including screening, quality core instruction, progress monitoring, as well as supplemental and intensive intervention.
