Workshop & Training Sessions
Active Engagement is a key ingredient to powerful, effective and impactful instruction. Yet moving from passive or compliant engagement to active is also one of the most challenging practices to build as a consistent part of every day practice. This secret sauce to many aspects of education and it can be approached with a variety of lenses. Through all of these lenses I have developed a series of workshops and sessions that can be stand alone, combined, or delivered in an academy approach. The following are the different topics addressed over the 5 day workshop that can be provided over time or 5 days in a row: -Brain Friendly Instruction -Active Engagement Instructional Strategies (Cooperative Learning) -Rigor & Relevance (Triangular Alignment) -Sheltered Instruction -Restorative Practices -Culture & Community -Differentiation
This session on "Introduction to Restorative Practices" is a comprehensive and interactive workshop designed for educators seeking to enhance their understanding and implementation of restorative approaches in educational settings. Educators will explore the fundamental principles of restorative practices, examining how they can foster a positive and inclusive learning environment, build stronger relationships with students, and effectively address conflicts and disciplinary issues. Through a combination of theoretical insights, practical strategies, and real-life case studies, educators will walk away knowing how to integrate restorative circles, conferences, Respect Agreements and other restorative techniques into their teaching practice to promote social-emotional growth, accountability, and community building within their classrooms and schools.
In this session, we will empower educators to collaborate, have meaningful dialogue and reflect in professional community groups (i.e., job-alike communities, grade levels, departments) and focus on identified needs. This can include areas such as meaningful lesson planning, data driven instruction, collaboration systems, curriculum implementation, strategic design and implementation, and PLC structures. By the end of this session, educators will leave with a renewed sense of collaboration and strategy. This is best implemented as a series of multiple visits.
In this dynamic and enlightening workshop, we will delve into the foundations of brain-friendly teaching and the power of cooperative learning to create a thriving classroom environment. Participants will explore innovative strategies that capitalize on neuroscientific principles to optimize students' learning experiences, fostering an inclusive and stimulating atmosphere where every learner can thrive. We will delve into the brain's cognitive processes, memory retention, and motivation, offering practical insights to design lessons that align with how the brain learns best. Moreover, we will discover the transformative impact of cooperative learning, empowering teachers to implement collaborative activities that promote critical thinking, teamwork, and active engagement among students. This session promises to equip educators with a plethora of effective and interactive teaching techniques, ultimately paving the way for an inspired and successful educational journey for both students and teachers alike. This session has many parts so customizing it to meet the needs of your campus will be a must have conversation in planning this opportunity. This session can be extended into multiple sessions to continue adding new strategies to educator toolboxes over time.

A motivational keynote to support my entire message for educators: Be Real. Be Kind. Be You. Do this and form #RealConnections.

Participating in our new curriculum implementation session led by Eli was a remarkable experience. It was evident from the start that Eli possesses a wealth of knowledge and personal experience with the curriculum and strategies he shared. His firsthand insights and practical examples made the content incredibly relatable and easy to understand. I left the workshop feeling inspired and equipped with actionable tools to enhance my classroom practices. I don't normally walk out of a curriculum training feeling this way."
