Workshop: Project CRISS Training I

Course ID - CTD0495         

Short Title: CRISS Training I      

* Approved CT&D Workshop for Faculty Professional Development hours.

Description:
The goal of the project  CRISS (Creating Independence through Student –owned Strategies) is to equip students with a vast toolkit of learning strategies and with the knowledge to create strategic plans for all learning tasks they might encounter in school, work, and beyond. Through teacher modeling and guidance, students learn how to learn. Project CRISS advocates active, multi-sensory, and metacognitive teaching and learning. Accordingly, CRISS transforms the traditional “lecture and test” classroom into a stimulating, dynamic learning environment. Recent advances in brain compatible learning substantiate the merits of this philosophy and help explain the project’s success, longevity, and national proliferation.

Objectives

As a result of successful completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify the key principles of CRISS philosophy such as Metacognition, Active Learning, Modeling & Explanation, and Teaching for Understanding
• Foster participant involvement with CRISS Strategic Learning Plans which incorporate a variety of reading, writing, orhanizing, and vocabulary strategies
• Develop assessment techniques for measuring metacognitive learning
• Develop a variety of active, multi-sensory and metacognitive learning plans
