Area Reading Course
focuses upon reading to learn across the curriculum. This course
provides Grades K-12 teachers with a scientifically based reading research
(SBRR) foundation for understanding issues surrounding literacy. Multiple
strategies to support students’ reading and development across the
academic curriculum will be modeled and practiced. Participants will have
opportunities to engage in collaborative problem-solving discussions,
presentations and to examine their own student data in order to determine
students’ reading and learning needs. CMSD programs which support reading
will also be explored. Participants are required to bring in
evidence of implementation via samples of student work to each class and
develop a lesson and use that lesson with their students.
Pedagogy:
Champs- Proactive Classroom Management
Session One
Session Two
This
CHAMPs course will give a systematic guide for classroom teachers who want
to improve their current classroom management plans. The class is
structured to help teachers identify and maintain the effective parts of
their current plans, while concurrently identifying and strengthening any
weak parts of their management plans. This class will help teachers manage
the behavior of students more positively and effectively. The class is
broken down into seven sessions. The participants will present a lesson
they have created to teach their students procedures and routines that
need to be in place in order to maintain a positive learning environment.
CMSD’s goal is to become a premier district in the United States of
America.
This class will improve student behavior enabling then to comprehend their
lessons and pass Ohio
mandated tests. Participants are required to bring in evidence of
implementation via samples of student work to each class and develop a
lesson and use that lesson with their students.

This
Inquiry-Based Course will empower educators to access, plan, teach and
revise their daily instruction based upon scientifically based research.
Participants will be challenged to use instructional activities that
require students to use critical thinking skills, while working in
collaborative small groups. Participants will also be challenged to use
protocols which help students take ownership in the instructional
process. Participants will be required to evaluate units based upon the
strategies and techniques discussed in detail in the course. Participants
are required to bring in evidence of implementation via samples of
student work to each class and develop a lesson and use that lesson with
their students.

Technology Integration
Session One (closed)
Session Two (closed)
The
research of the National Reading Panel, Robert Marzano and
Understanding By Design are the foundations of the course as well as
the Ohio technology standards. The need to increase the number of teachers
delivering rigorous daily instruction which integrates technology is
documented nationally and locally. Participants are required to
bring in evidence of implementation via samples of student work to each
class and develop a lesson and use that lesson with their students.
