RI Teacherfest 2019

Merging my passion and extensive training in both improv comedy and education, this session will give teachers fast and fun improv games to use to foster student engagement. Additionally, it will present teachers and administrators with a framework for applying foundational skills of improv to improve pedagogy in the classroom and culture in schools.

Students in grades 6-12 are required to have an ILP (Individual Learning Plan). To make it an engaging experience takes planning and tools. The Individual Learning Plan can be an important tool for students to discover their path and passion. In this session, learn how to enhance career, social and academic exploration for your students through your Individual Learning Plan Program. This session will provide a brief background on the ILP, the toolkits available from RIDE to support the ILP program, along with a closer look at the scope and sequence and curriculum model. In addition, helpful technology tools will be shared to assist with program implementation.
