Relevance

The presentation skillfully re-affirms and re-aligns educators' thoughts and notions about how to effectively deliver and facilitate information. Too often, educators dismiss the notions brought forth by students when their perspective is one of the most essential components needed to accurately and proficiently deliver and disclose knowledge.

Brief Program Description

The professional development program, “The I’s don’t have it because my kids do!”, is an instructional model whereby practical principles of transforming culture constantly evolve and are adapted according to the needs of the students being served. The R & S Model presents a practical opportunity for educators to develop and build meaningful relationships with students while fostering a self-motivated learning environment. These principals include but are not limited to Relationships - (1) Belief in Kids, (2) Sense of Community, (3) Clear Communication, and One-on-One/Smaller Setting. Self-Motivated – (1) Collaboration, (2) Self-Paced Learning, and (3) Choice/Validation

Summary

Model lessons are taught highlighting the above-mentioned principles with an emphasis on students which are driven by the conversation’s educators have with one another. The focus and intent of the professional development is to reach reluctant or struggling staff member(s) and provide a basis for their interactions with all constituents who are proponents for a culture rich learning environment that focuses on the students being served not the individual acting as the server.

Evidence

Interaction that works: a case study of practices in an alternative high school that promote successful outcomes for students on the verge of dropping out.

Dissertation by Charlie L. Frazier Jr.
