One Day Workshop: The WHY and HOW of Differentiating with Layered Curriculum® (My most popular product!) Captivating, motivating and information-packed. This 5 hour teacher workshop with Kathie Nunley, begins with a humorous look at the student brain. The basics of Layered Curriculum® are presented with enough samples and support material so that your teachers are ready to begin designing their own units of Layered Curriculum®. The 3 hour morning session focuses on the research and theory behind any form of differentiated instruction and then delve into the practical application of that theory in Layered Curriculum® in the 2 hour afternoon session. Sample Agenda: 8:30 am - 10:00 am - Your Student's Brain: How it works! Presented by : Dr. Kathie Nunley, developer of the Layered Curriculum®
method of differentiated instruction and founder of Brains.org One Day Workshop: Differentiating the High School Classroom: This increasing popular workshop covers the topics as above but is specifically targeted to include the obstacles to differentiation at the secondary level. Cost: Generally start at $3325.00 plus the cost of participant books ( range $27 - $69/participant). Two Day Workshop: You'll never look at teaching
the same again! This two day workshop also begins with a fun and humorous
overview of how the brain learns. The biology is then incorporated into
Layered Curriculum®, the easiest way to teach in mixed-ability classrooms
while maintaining high standards and increasing student accountability.
Memory systems, problem solving and critical thinking are added to the
mix on the second day. All presentation of material, consultation and feedback will be with Dr. Kathie F. Nunley, founder of Brains.org and Help4Teachers.com and developer of the Layered Curriculum® method of instruction. To reserve a date: Email kathie@brains.org
Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: How early do we need to book you? Answer: I open my calendar 18 months out for workshops and 24 months for national and international conferences. The sooner you contact me, the better as my calendar fills quickly, but due to unexpected events, cancellations, etc., sometimes I can book a presentation just a few months out. Q: Once we contact you, what happens next? Answer: Once we've agreed on a calendar date, I will FAX you paperwork which will include a cost proposal, a service agreement, an overview of the day(s) and a workshop materials order form. If all looks agreeable to you, just fax back the service agreement. I can generally "hold" your date for 2 weeks. The service agreement confirms the date. I will confirm via email receipt of the service agreement. **If you ordered a full day workshop: At 60 days out, you will need to mail or fax a Purchase Order for your workshop costs. You can add additional participants (materials) up to 14 days before the workshop. At 30 days out, I will mail you a confirmation packet which includes an overview of the day, a "Confirmation Fax" page, and handout masters. You can then double-check all the arrangements, dates, times, locations on the "Confirmation Fax" page and return that to me. This helps make sure we are all in agreement on start times, agenda, location, etc and provides me with an emergency contact number on my travel day. **If you ordered a conference keynote and/or breakout: By 60 days out you will need to provide us with the name of your conference bookseller to arrange for the shipment of materials. At 30 days out, I will mail you a confirmation packet which includes an overview of the day, your invoice(including airfare receipt) for the day, a "Confirmation Fax" page, and handout masters for each session. You can then double-check all the arrangements, dates, times, locations on the "Confirmation Fax" page and return that to me. This helps make sure we are all in agreement on start times, agenda, location, etc and provides me with an emergency contact number on my travel day. Q: Do we need to take care of travel arrangements? Answer: No. I will take care of ALL travel arrangements including booking my airline, hotel and ground transportation. All travel expenses, are included in my fees. You will not be invoiced for any travel costs. Q: What kind of A/V set-up do you need? Answer: My A/V needs are very simple. I use overhead transparencies, so we need a nice, bright overhead and a screen along with a large presentation table for my "stuff". IMPORTANT: The overhead and table MUST be on the floor level with participants!! This means that if we have to use an auditorium, the overhead must be on the floor down in front, just projected up on the stage. I will also need a cordless, clip-on style microphone if the room requires a mic. For 2-day workshops, we'll need a TV/VCR set-up on day 2. Q: How many participants can we have? Answer: The minimum for a workshop is 40. There is no maximum. Feel free to buddy-up with other schools in your area or even invite outside participants. In fact, if you'd like to open it to other teachers, I'm happy to add a link on my calendar page to your contact person for registration. Many schools do this to help offset their costs. Question: What about deposits, and/or cancellation fees? Answer: For workshops, a participant materials order form and PO is required at 60 days out from the workshop. At 30 days out, materials are no longer returnable and if you need to cancel a workshop after this point, you will need to reimburse my airline cancellation fee of $100. |
