“Cooking Up” an Effective Math Program
Grade Levels: 1-4
Subject: Math
Instructor: Barb Borgwardt, WASDI Lead Teacher, Galesville Elementary, Galesville, Wisconsin
If you think your math program could use a little “seasoning”, this workshop will offer a taste of something savory to add flavor and zest to your curriculum. We’ll serve up some answers to simmering questions such as:
• Is there a recipe we can follow to create an effective math program?
• What are the basic ingredients necessary to build the enduring mathematical concepts our students need?
• How can we “spice up” the content of our program with fun, meaningful activities?
• How do we assess the quality of our program and revise our recipe if needed?
This workshop is not geared to a specific program, so it can be used by anyone, with any math curriculum.
The participants will: develop an understanding of the framework necessary for effective math instruction, including key research; understand how to include the process standards (NCTM and Wisconsin) in their instruction; develop an understanding of the 5 content standards (NCTM and Wisconsin); discover ways to include all of the content areas in their instruction/program; create activities to help students understand mathematical concepts; discover and create games which help students build mathematical knowledge; create authentic assessments to guide instruction; discover ways to help students gain confidence in their mathematical abilities; discover ways to increase students’ mathematical language and communication skills; discover activities and games that help you differentiate instruction; and gain resources to enhance instruction as well as enhance student learning.

Creative Books & Journals
Grade Levels: PreK-8
Subjects: Language Arts
& Art/Design Education
Instructor: Dawn Schulz, Little Chute Elementary School, Little Chute, WI
We already know that the heart and soul are drawn to beauty and color; hence, we must engage our students with its use. The more the senses are integrated into the experience, the more we learn. The use of journals has become a wonderful way to bring color work, visual representation of knowledge and visual spatial constructs into classroom work. Organizing a space graphically to share knowledge of a subject is an important capacity for all students but in some, is the primary learning style. The opportunity to create a journal of this type allows students to go beyond the less complex task of note copying and on to the higher level thought process of organizing information into specific visual representations through the use of space, form, and color.
This class will provide you with ideas on how to create a variety of journals and projects while incorporating many types of materials, such as interesting papers, fabric, paint, found objects, and more. We will discuss the many ways journals can be integrated and incorporated into many subjects. Class participants will learn various ways to use materials to enhance their subject area while making journals to help their students create beautiful and meaningful projects. During the week a spectrum of techniques will be covered while each participant creates an assortment of journals to be applied to their own classroom curriculum. Please bring a paintshirt for the first day.

It’s Not Really “English” Any More: Teaching Kids Lifelong Literacy Tools
Grade Levels: Grade 3-12 (Any class where kids are reading and writing)
Subject: Literacy (tools for reading and writing)
Instructor: Paul Warloski, Greendale Middle School, Greendale WI, also a published poet and journalist
We need to change our view of how we teach what is traditionally called “English.” We’ve learned so much about how kids learn best, based on brain research and the work of other educators and researchers. Instead, kids need to learn tools to help them navigate whatever texts they might face in their rapidly changing lifetimes.
In this workshop course, we’ll write and read in order to better become aware of what we do as expert readers and writers. We’ll write a text and read excerpts from other writers to learn tools of good writing as well as tools of better comprehension. We’ll end the week with a group share of our work!
Upon completion of this course, participants will learn how to use and teach literacy tools to their students. We will use some word processing technology in the class.

Autism and AD/HD: Practical Ideas for the Classroom
Grade Levels: K-12
Subject: All
Instructor: Julie Martzke, School Psychologist & Adjunct Professor, Hamline University, Minneapolis, MN
You see it in your classrooms every day; the number of children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder has skyrocketed. Students with AD/HD continue to be common in your classroom. The good news is that there is a wealth of new research and practical ideas to make these children more successful and help you feel more confident in dealing with their academic, social, and behavioral challenges. In addition, many regular education teachers have found that the strategies that work well with students with these disorders also benefit all students in their classes. Previous participants have said: “The instructor did an incredible job listening to our concerns in the classroom and helping us brainstorm ideas to help. This truly is a class every educator should take.”
Course participants will: develop an understanding of the main characteristics of AD/HD and Autism Spectrum Disorders and understand their similarities and differences; learn the impact of these disorders on the students social, academic, and behavioral functioning in your classroom; learn practical strategies focusing on social skills, attention, organization, and movement in K-12 classrooms; be introduced to comic strip conversations; have the opportunity to make visual supports for the classroom; learn how to write social stories, and learn how to use a five-point scale to help students identify and manage their own behaviors.

Changing Classroom Consciousness Through Nonviolent Communication: Teaching A Literacy of Feelings and Needs
Grade Levels 4 - 12 & Administrators
Subject: All
Instructor: Sandra Zahn, ATR-BC, Registered Art Therapist, DRAGONFLY SERVICES
In these days of great change in a compressed time frame we are leaving our old non-productive ways of communicating behind. In this course you’ll recognize language that disconnects you from yourself and others; immerse yourself in active empathic listening; speak your mind without creating hostility; resolve conflicts peacefully and in mutually satisfying ways that change consciousness, (how people view each other), and activate your full potential and power in what the Hopi Tribe calls this “Shift of the Ages”.
Attendees will learn a four-step language process that creates a quality of connection where everyone’s needs can be met through compassionate giving rather than manipulation, punishment, coercion, force or any other forms of violence.
Participants will release stress and channel emotions through exuberant structured and creative percussion, self-soothing breath-work techniques that prevent our reactive responses to stimuli and therapeutic art experiences that enable us to see ourselves in each other.
Participants will: understand the origins and history of 10,000 years of emotional programming in cultures with a “dominance paradigm” and consciousness of abuse of power with repression of feelings and needs; shift their consciousness from holding “enemy images” and viewing others as separate from self to recognizing their ONENESS with all people;
develop and practice a “feeling and need” literacy through expressing what is ALIVE in them each moment; learn and practice the four-step process of OBSERVATIONS, FEELINGS, NEEDS and REQUESTS to create a quality of connection where everyone’s needs can be met;
learn and practice “self-empathy” which strengthens their core and expands their power; experience BODY CENTERED ways to minimize stress and express their emotional energy through drumming, Art Therapy and breath-work. They will be able to present these tools to their students as foundational “hands-on” activities that enhance the practice of Nonviolent Communication.
