About this Learning Opportunity
12:30 pm to 2:00 pm: 4 Laws of Learning
What really makes a difference in teaching? There are many factors, like relationship building, that have a powerful impact, but when it comes to planning lessons—that 45- to 90-minute
block of time we set aside for instruction—what activities actually move the needle on learning? This session explores four rock-solid truths backed by research on how people learn. These
laws apply to every subject area and grade level, and if you follow them when planning lessons, you’ll be a lot more likely to make some real learning happen for students.
2:00 pm to 3:30 pm: Supporting Student Readers and Writers in Every Class
Teachers in all subjects are expected to support student reading and writing. In this session, we will explore why students need literacy support in every class, the misconceptions that keep teachers in non-ELA content areas from effectively delivering this support, and the surprisingly simple strategies teachers can use to support student reading and writing in any content area.
This learning opportunity is being subsidized through funding from Alberta Education.

National Board Certified Teacher, author, and Editor-in-Chief at Cult of Pedagogy, Jennifer Gonzalez blends her broad pedagogical and technical knowledge, down-to-earth honesty, and sense of humor to deliver inspiring keynotes and practical lectures and workshops.

Then she extracts the most valuable information from it all and shares it with teachers so they can run with it.
