- Dealing with Teachers Who Don’t Want to Deal with Us Jim Knight
-
2006 SIM Conference Most professional developers have encountered teachers who communicate quite clearly that they are not interested n whatever is being offered. Unfortunately, resistant teachers can spread their negative perspective and poison potentially successful professional learning opportunities. What should we do about teachers who don't want to work with us? During this presentation, participants will learn how the partnership principles, Prochaska's research on change, and Miller and Rollnick's Motivational Interviewing skills can assist professional developers with this significant challenge. Additionally, participants will review several short case studies and share their ideas on how to address difficult participants.
- Deep Dive: Implementing Writing with the Higher Order Thinking and Reasoning Routines - Patty Graner
-
2019 SIMposium
Watch VideoThe Higher Order Thinking and Reasoning Routines (Teaching Cause and Effect, Scientific Argumentation, Teaching Decision Making, and Question Exploration) can be useful to content teachers working on building students higher order reasoning and thinking muscles, but they can also be used effectively to help them produce an essay in which they support their reasoning. Instructions are provided at the end of each guidebook for writing an essay. We will practice the practical aspects of writing that essay -useful to your teachers learning how to use these routines.
- Deep Dive: Instructional Coaching and SIM
-
2019 SIMposium
Watch VideoThe instructional coaching process described in recent publications bears little resemblance to the coaching process first described in the 2007 book Instructional Coaching. In this interactive, hands-on session, participants will (a) learn how the model has been refined over the past decade, (b) practice applying instructional coaching skills to specific SIM™ Content Enhancement Routines and Learning Strategies, and (c) discuss how elements of the new instructional coaching process can be used to translate SIM research into effective teaching practices that change students’ lives. If you’re interested in what it takes to get quality implementation of SIM that is sustained over time, you will find this session useful.

- Design and Implementation of Online Fusion Reading for Adolescents with Limited Reading Proficiency - Brasseur-Hock, Zhang
-
2021 SIMposium
This presentation is to demonstrate the development of an online adaptive, comprehensive, and research-based adolescent reading program called Fusion Reading Program (FRP) that holds the potential to provide personalized learning for adolescents with limited reading proficiency. To respond to the sudden shift to online learning and teaching, we have collaborated with Fusion Reading (FR) leaders and teachers in redesigning FRP drawing upon the current science and theories of reading and online learning. In this presentation, we will describe how the online FRP integrates two core design components to better support students’ personalized learning needs. These components include 1) explicit and direct instruction and 2) Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Furthermore, we will demonstrate how we leverage varying functionalities of Canvas as the learning management system to design and deliver instructional units of the online FRP.
Learner Objectives:
At the end of this session participants will:
Gain an understanding of which Fusion Reading critical teaching components were needed to impact teachers online instructional needs. Gain an understanding of effective design features of online learning using the framework of Universal Design for Learning to enhance the Fusion Reading program in an online format.Read the article -KUCRL_Online Fusion Reading

2021 SIMposium
Handout: HO Civics DVTs OVERVIEW v3.pdf
To prepare for my session, I would like participants to:
Review “Overview of Scaffolded Inquiry DVT Resources”
(pdf) Ponder these questions:- How do DVTs different from generic graphic organizers (webs, Venns, etc.) as well as from various Content Enhancement visuals?
- How do Civics “Compelling Question DVTs” different from the “Language Literacy DVTs”?
- How do DVTs scaffold inquiry-based learning?
- Do I know someone who might be really interested in this?
If you know a high school Civics/Government teacher who might be interested in participating in field testing of this program or possibly even becoming a coauthor
of the series, please share and discuss this info with this individual. I’m looking for smart, innovative, curious, highly committed teachers who are willing
to try new things and critically evaluate them. Please have them contact me to discuss the opportunity.
Thanks, Ed edwinellis1@gmail.comWhile you may not teach civics/government, you may know some innovative teachers who do and who may be interested in field testing a very innovative instructional program… or possibly even becoming one of the co-authors. Thus, the purpose of this session is set the stage for recruiting teachers to assist in the refinement and further development of the program.
The DVTs for Scaffolded Inquiry in Civics / Government program is designed for addressing “Essential Questions” associated with specific NCGS and NCSS-C3 content standards while also scaffolding the development of key language literacy skills (e.g., researching, evaluating, and synthesizing information, communicating findings through writing and oral presentations and arguments).
The program features an integration of explicit instruction techniques with inquiry-based learning methods as a series of specialized visual tools (not your parents’ graphic organizers) are used during instruction. The session will provide an overview of the program and its various instructional resources followed by a discussion about field testing opportunities.

- Effective Implementation of Content Enhancement Routines: Student Voices (01:34:30)
2015 SIM Conference
Keith Ben Hanania Lenz -
Approximately 200 students in grades 7-12 participated in group interviews in which they were asked to describe their perceptions of current CER implementation in their courses over a four-year period. Students were asked to define and describe: • what good and poor CER implementation looked like, • effective teaching practices, • good teaching. The data were used to explore answers to the questions: How do students describe good CER implementation? Do student descriptions of good CER implementation match KUCRL’s criteria for good implementation? Do 7th and 8th graders new to CER differ in their views of effective CER implementation from 11th and 12th graders who have experienced CER implementation across three to four years? What do students think as they move from a teacher perceived as a good CER implementer one who is perceived as a poor CER implementer? What do students say should be changed to make teaching devices more effective? What helps them learn? In this session, the results of the interview will be shared including the interview process. We will explore the implications of listening to the voice of the students and discuss the value of conducting student interviews, the use of student interview data to improve CER implementation, and the overall continuous school improvement process. Implications for the design of research, curriculum, and instructional technology will also be discussed if time permits.
