TRAINING
Teaching is hard! From planning lessons to managing students, every teacher has to juggle multiple things in the classroom. We offer workshops that strike at strategies and practices that will increase your skills in designing lessons as experiences and get students on board for learning. Focused primarily on the math/science classroom, we will coach and show you ways to integrate math into all disciplines. Our trainings are fun, hands-on, and practical for immediate use in the classroom. We have trained hundreds of teachers and developed a comprehensive math program called Judo Math that highlights all that is capable; putting these progressive teaching practices at the forefront of your classroom.

Building a Collaborative Learning Culture
Projects breathe life into the classroom and they focus students attention on creating a product that illustrates their learning and pushes students to apply their understanding. It helps answer the question, "Why do we have to learn this?" Projects answer this question by showing purpose, passion and the pursuit of creating a working product. It's the essence of real world learning. This workshop will showcase successful projects as well as you give you the road map to crafting your own projects!
