Title: Idea: Share Two Classes with a Fellow Teacher
Body:
From https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk
If you don’t get many, or any, chances to observe your peers and to receive feedback from your peers on your own teacher, here’s an idea for how to bring it about. If you and a colleague teach the same course at the same time, consider combining your students into a single class and co-teaching. On a given day, one of you can run the class while the other participates with the students.

Title: Workshop: Integrate STEM Learning Concepts into Your Lesson Plans
Body:
Engage, Explore and Discover! Integrate STEM Learning Concepts into Your Lesson Plans and Make Connections
Saturday, February 18, 2017
The Glickman Center at the University of Texas at Austin
During this day-long workshop, Rose Potter from the University of Texas at Austin UTeach Liberal Arts program will present a 5Es lesson plan that any WL teacher can easily incorporate into their curriculum. The 5Es are Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate (with an extra “E” for exit strategy.)
This constructivist approach to learning provides a powerful template to create effective, standards-based learning experiences that focus on collaboration, communication skills and critical thinking. The inquiry-orientated teaching and learning model supports the 5C’s to promote gains in language and cultural proficiency.
Inquiry-based instruction differs from a traditional lesson plan design, as it encourages learners to construct new ideas or concepts based upon their current/past knowledge. It is a very open type of planning. Teachers design standards-based instructions around a learning objective, gather resources, and provide students with an opportunity to explore, build, and demonstrate their learning. It shifts the learning environment from one that is very instructor-centered to one that is very learner-centered.
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
• Design an interpersonal communication engagement that truly warms-up students’ minds, ears, eyes and tongue.
• Incorporate the concept of student-centered exploration, discovery and explanation into lesson planning to avoid teacher-centered lecture.
Lunch is provided and CPE credits are available for those who attend the whole workshop.
