Davis School District R&R Conference 2024

True believers of collaborative classrooms see the benefits of individuals working together. From the workplace to relationships, the social skills of collaboration are central to our society. The classroom is a perfect place to learn the skills of working together. Every teacher has attempted a group project only to see the students devolve in chaos. Incredible amounts of class time were wasted, the end projects were poor quality, and it turned out that one group member completed the entire project. These frustrations and many others have stopped many educators from doing collaborative projects within their classes. What does it take to make collaboration work in the classroom? This session will explore the elements of successful classroom collaboration: walking through the foundations of classroom setup, building relationships, teaching social behaviors, steppingstone assignments, and large group projects.

Have you ever wished that you could bring energy and excitement back into your classroom? Do you want your students to be more engaged in the learning process? Arts Integration is your recipe for success! Come, learn about tools that will help you bring joyful learning back into your classroom while covering multiple standards in both the fine arts as well as your core curriculum. This presentation will be split into thirds: Music, Drama, and Visual Art. We will use methods in each of these to help teachers practice and produce creative lessons that help diverse learning styles. These methods will build a foundation for teachers to create their own arts integrated lesson moving forward. We hope to see you there! Come ready to move around, draw, share ideas, and participate in our feast!
