Communication Skills
Administrators and teacher leaders will focus on
conferencing and facilitating skills that guide
individual teachers and teaching teams in learning.

knowledge learned toward being able to change
teacher behaviors that will motivate student
behaviors and increase student learning.

care about their grades…
there is no way to motivate
them to work. Failing them

for your students to do
well.
• Grades just don’t seem to
be it.
• You see a need to find a
different way to motivate
your students.
Gripes to Goals
I can’t deal with all the
different levels of
students in my class.

important to differentiate
your instruction.

to increase your
differentiation.

Questions for Life
Listen as Steve
thinks through
the questions he
might use…
A teacher tells you that she
believes reading aloud is an
important component of
reading workshop time, but
she doesn’t use it often
because the students don’t
listen during the reading. They
fidget and are seldom able to
respond to questions she asks.
