In this interactive training, teachers will explore the Heggerty Phonemic Awareness and ECRI routines to build strong foundational reading skills in early learners. The session will emphasize the importance of explicit, systematic phonemic instruction and demonstrate how to effectively integrate both programs into daily classroom routines. Including tips and tools to keep students engaged and use assessment and feedback to guide instruction for different learners.
When we design projects that ask students to solve real problems, we pull them into a creative learning cycle that strengthens communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. Students engaged in project-based learning consistently show higher academic achievement and greater readiness for future careers. Even as AI becomes more prevalent in education, these skills remain irreplaceable for real-world application and meaningful work. And just as important, project-based learning is fun. It energizes instruction, deepens student engagement, and makes assessment more meaningful as teachers watch learning unfold through a finished project. In this presentation, participants will: Explore the definition of project-based learning and understand its history. Discuss examples from a 5th-grade classroom. Evaluate their curriculum for upcoming opportunities to implement project-based learning. Design next steps to take to put a project-based learning idea into action.
Just joined the 5th grade team at Seitz Elementary and teach social studies and science. Teaching in K-12 is my second career! I worked in career services in higher ed for 12 years before switching paths.
