We all want deep learning in our classrooms—but what’s getting in the way? Educators across Kentucky consistently point to three challenges:
· Students aren’t fully engaged
· Effort is inconsistent
· Learners struggle to take ownership of their progress
For decades, we've turned to new programs and shifting initiatives to address these concerns. But what if the keys to deeper learning have been right in front of us all along—in the Kentucky Adapted Framework for Teaching? Join Rick Fisher, a long-time Kentucky Educator, for an engaging and interactive session where he’ll share practical, proven strategies to support teacher development and growth through Kentucky’s exemplary teaching criteria.
In this session, you will: ✅ Learn how to create a common language for deeper learning to help guide staff development. ✅ Explore how to move from Accomplished to Exemplary using the Kentucky Adapted Framework for Teaching. ✅ Discover a set of simple, ready-to-use tools that make exemplary instruction accessible to every teacher. ✅ See how to ground boxed curriculum and personal lesson designs in the science of deeper learning to strengthen Tier 1 instruction—and beyond. Let’s move past the cycle of new initiatives and focus on what truly works. Register here to attend: bit.ly/3H6x4VT
