Fall Regional Meetings
Focus on the Classroom:
Bolstering Tier One Instruction
Regional Meetings are 2.5 hours in length. For Specific start times, please see below.
With uncertain budgets and new and alternatively certified teachers, the best defense is a good offense. Our fall regional meetings will be a learning and discussion format on how to strengthen direct instruction. We will review some proven techniques and strategies that will create an environment that will move beyond compliance and emphasize engagement. Come ready to share what works for you and to leave with additional ideas that you can use the next day.
Target Audience: Veteran and new teachers, Instructional Coaches, and Mentors, and Building principals that would like to know more about what strong whole group instruction looks like.
**REMINDER** – Free attendance for all SMCAA Member District Staff to our Fall, Winter and Spring Regional Meetings.
Registration Required – Please put $0 in Total Field and Member in the Purchase Order field.
