Right Brain, Left Brain, Response to Intervention (RTI)
What is differentiated learning in the classroom, and how can we spot the different ways our students learn? Once we know, how do we teach curriculum in different ways to meet the needs of our students? We will answer those questions and learn how to apply the Fisher and Frey model to our lessons. We will also learn what response to intervention really means and how to implement it in our daily classroom plans. This session targets classroom teachers, Instructional Coaches, administration, and anyone interested in making classrooms make more sense to students and teachers alike. Participants need no experience in brain hemisphere science, teaching in diverse classrooms, or teaching at
all. Participants will leave with a knowledge of how to see curriculum from the viewpoint of
various types of learners and how to make that curriculum make more sense to those learners. They will also understand that RTI is applicable in their very own classroom, every single day!
Attendees will:

  1. Ensure all learners engage in rigorous, relevant, and student-centered learning
    experiences.
  2. Promote a safe, positive, interactive, and supportive climate
  3. Use reflection, inquiry, and assessment practices for continuous learning and
    improvement
Presenter
Dr. Sheri Turner has been in public education for 24 years. Teaching is her second career. She began with a degree in Business Administration, specializing in Marketing. Dr. Turner worked in the business world first, in the disabilities field, when her second child was born with Down syndrome. Sheri helped to start a grass-roots effort to support parents of children with disabilities in Arkansas. After a couple of years, Governor Clinton appointed her to the Arkansas Council for Developmental Disabilities, and Sheri used that opportunity to help create a statewide program serving families of babies, birth to three. Once he became President, Clinton appointed Sheri to the National Council, and Sheri used her position to create policy change for babies with disabilities and their families nationwide.
