All activities will be based on the principles and practices of The Pedagogy of Confidence within the equity-based CLEAR framework to demonstrate how to stimulate high intellectual performance for all students.

  • Learn strategies that allow all students to access and engage in learning.
  • Learn how to enhance reading and writing capacities and deepen learning for all students.
  • Explore the principles of neuroscience that most enhance student learning.
