You will get fresh ideas to reinvigorate your practice at Ped Days 2020.<\/p>\n
Usha James is the keynote speaker and she will share a practical framework for approaching teaching and learning that starts with the student. Usha is the executive director of the Critical Thinking Consortium, which developed the framework.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are so many educational ideas and trends floating around,\u201d she told D News in a phone interview. \u201cI am not introducing another methodology. I will share a practical philosophy that will help you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all want students to think critically, but how do I teach a student to think? No teacher has been taught how to do this,\u201d Usha says.<\/p>\n
At the keynote event on Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 10 a.m., you will learn tactics and techniques that you can implement in your classes this semester.<\/p>\n
The deadline to register for Ped Days has been extended to 11 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 7 to help your colleagues giving workshops prepare and to ensure you are included at lunch.<\/strong><\/p>\n
