Expanding the Gizmos Experience

Audience: Grade 3-12 math and science teachers
 Prerequisite: Introduction to Gizmos workshop

About the Workshop

Expanding the Gizmos Experience helps teachers develop a deeper understanding of how to integrate Gizmos into their curriculum, and effective uses of whole group and small group instruction. The course shows teachers how to get the most from the Gizmo Lesson Materials by making these intentional instructional decisions. In the workshop, the instructor models best practices for using Gizmos in a whole class setting as well as a small group setting. Teachers work individually or in small groups to integrate best teaching practices with Gizmos into their curriculum.

Understand the similarities and differences between whole group and small group instruction and effective ways to utilize each method to improve student learning

DATE

“The instructor just completed the training for our math and science teachers. I just wanted to say this was one of the best trainings I have arranged in a while. The instructor kept the teachers interested and engaged the whole time. It was great that she modeled how to do the labs, instead of just talking about them. It is obvious that the instructor was very knowledgeable about the program, the material, and the dynamics of how it could be implemented. The teachers were shown how to challenge their students, while also supporting those with special needs. The instructor reminded the teachers that this was a “safe place” so they would ask questions, which many did. The program itself was user-friendly. The labs were easy to manipulate and full of higher order thinking skills. The teachers are eager to use Gizmos. Thank you for providing such a great trainer and program. I know the teachers found this training to be very beneficial.”
