Overview

During this interactive workshop educators will build their awareness and understanding of the Odell Education Curriculum. Educators will understand the design principles and key shifts this curriculum requires teachers to make. They will spend time exploring the online platform in order to understand the structure of the units, sections, lessons and assessments.  Through modeling interactive protocols they will explore the foundational unit and understand why investing time in this unit will engender a strong classroom community that supports students’ success with future units.  Educators will finish the day reflecting on their new learning and build a plan to continue to explore and learn about the curriculum in order to solidify their strong foundational understanding of the curriculum.
