-
2019 SIMposium
Watch VideoThis session will provide an overview of current mathematics standards related to basic computation. Attendees will learn how current the Strategic Math Series meets some of those standards. In addition, they will learn how new manuals under development will meet standards associated with flexible thinking, strategy-use, and mathematical properties. Finally, the session will describe the high leverage practices included in the mathematics manuals such as explicit instruction and scaffolding.
- Background Knowledge, Vocabulary & CE: How They Intertwine & Where SIM Can Bridge Research & Practice (01:09:07)
2005 SIM Conference
Sue Woodruff -
Have you ever wondered exactly how a student's background knowledge fits into the overall picture of literacy? We hear about it all the time, and what is its relationship to vocabulary? Both background knowledge and vocabulary are essential components to a well-planned literacy initiative. How can SIM operationalize these critical concepts? This presentation is based on Robert Marzano's newest book, Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement: Research n What Works in Schools.
- Behavior Coaching (01:22:09)
2006 SIM Conference
Tricia McKale and Jim Knight -
In the past year, instructional coaches on KUCRL's Pathways to success project have learned and implemented new practices designed to improve classroom management. This presentation offers an overview of the methods that have been developed through the collaborative effort of Randy Sprick (Safe and Civil Schools), Tricia McKale (KUCRL), Wendy Reinke (John Hopkins) and Jim Knight (KUCRL) Among the topics to be discussed are methods instructional coaches can use to help teachers teach behavioral expectations, increase time on task, increase opportunities to respond, and decrease disruptions.
Handouts: Positive to Negative Interaction Ration, - Better Conversations: How to Dramatically Improve the Way Educators Talk with One Another (01:02:55)
Jim Knight
2015 SIM Conference -
No real improvement can take place in schools unless the quality of conversations improves. But too often attempts at changing the way people communicate leads to superficial discussion of platitudes at best. This presentation will introduce the beliefs and habits that can lead to better conversations, and a coaching model that can be used by anyone to help turn the ideas and habits into practice. This presentation will also share comments from comments participants in a global study of self-coaching communication skills and beliefs.
- Bewitched by Words -Peggy Graving (00:58:18)
2005 SIM Conference -
This session will present a research-based framework and practical strategies for effectively teaching vocabulary based on the work of Isabel Beck and colleagues. The focus will be on selecting words for instruction, levels of word knowledge, and creating meaningful learning activities. After the conference,, plan to read Bringing Words to Life by I. Beck, M. McKeown and L. Kucan.
Presentation Notes - Blending Possible Selves and the Google Classroom Learning Management System - Mike Hock, Tonya Eberhardt, Nhan Nguyen

2021 SIMposium
Watch VideoPossible Selves Google Classroom SIMposium_7.14.2021.pptx
Hello! Please watch the introduction video below.
As educators work to improve outcomes for students, many of us are turning to instructional technology to help personalized instruction. In this session we use the Google classroom learning management system to help personalized instruction in possible selves. Instructional technology holds the promise to increase student engagement and learning and to respond to student identified personal, learning, and career goals. While Google classroom is used by many educators, using that platform to support interventions and programs presents some challenges. We will explore our initial attempts to embed possible selves in a Google classroom add to share with professional developers some of the benefits and challenges teachers will face implementing this model. Participants will experience two lessons from Possible Selves that are supported by Google Classroom activities. Participant feedback on the usability and feasibility of the program will be requested.
Learner Objectives:
To briefly highlight the key features of the new Possible Selves 2nd Edition manual;
To introduce participants to the Possible Selves + Google Classroom program;
To experience the Google Classroom activities in Lesson Three and Four.
To provide feedback to developers on the usability and feasibility of PS+GC
- Both Ends of the Spectrum:Using SIM Writing Strategies in Content Areas -Lasky & Eylands (00:48:21)
-
This presentation will describe the process a district is using to ensure the implementation of The SIM Writing Strategies. We will discuss a series of Articulation meeting with district teachers, which resulted in a document tying together the elements of their writing programs, the Common Core Standards, FSW vocabulary, and the Ed Ellis DVTs. We will also share visuals that were designed by the K-2 teachers to better prepare their students for FSW in the later grades. In addition, we will discuss how we address the frustration by teachers in grades 3-8 on the use of SIM Writing Strategies in their content classrooms. This will includes demonstration lessons that teach content (e.g. California Gold Rush) and integrate sentence writing, as well as coaching.

2012 SIM Conference -
In this session, Marti will describe the current research surrounding the use of wireless technology, i.e. bug-in-ear (BIE) to provide immediate feedback to pre-service and in-service teachers. Building on this research, findings from a pilot project using BIE to coach teachers in an augmented reality environment (TeachLivE) will also be presented. This interactive session will provide opportunity for volunteers to practice BIE coaching for

Buy-in and Understanding CLC at School Level - Suzanne Robinson, Barb Ehren (01:01:08)
2007 SIM Conference
Suzanne Robinson, Strategic Learning Center, and Barbara Ehren, University of Central Florida, Orlando -
Professional developers working with schools to adopt the Content Literacy Continuum know that buy-in and understanding of the CLC on the part of teachers and administrators are crucial components of the process. However, an important lesson learned over the years has been that buy-in and understanding are not accomplished by initial eff orts alone; that is, buy-in takes more than up-front willingness to engage in CLC adoption, and full understanding requires more than a CLC overview. In this session, participants will discuss the kinds of activities that facilitate CLC buy-in and understanding and the timing for these activities over the course of a CLC adoption initiative. Participants will gain knowledge about critical components to consider when developing a CLC adoption strategy.
