In Canyons School District, we believe that all stakeholders benefit from purposeful technology integration within the learning process, focusing on student achievement. Educational technology will be used to empower teachers, students, and other stakeholders to gain the knowledge and skills needed to adapt, create, consume, and connect responsibly and ethically with the broader world in preparation for meaningful life opportunities.

We will talk about the 5 phases of Focused Note Taking and hone in on phases 2 and 3, which are processing notes and connecting thinking. We will discuss the strategies to increase inquiry and collaboration in the classroom alongside the process of taking notes. This helps promote student engagement and increases DOK in the classroom. For example, we will discuss the Quiz the class strategy and Costa's Levels of Questioning. We will also share how these phases help with scaffolding and meeting accommodations for all learners, while also building rigor.

In this session we will dive into improv-based team-building games that any teacher (or admin) could use with their classes to provide a safe space for students to express themselves, engage without fear of failure, and build stronger interpersonal connections. Improv is a proven technique to teach listening skills and build a positive classroom community. We will teach you a few different improv games that are easy to use in any classroom as a brain break, morning meeting/starter routine, community building/ice breaker activity, or PBIS reward.
