The “I Can” Classroom

Building Success and Achievement for ALL Students

Presentation by Jane Bluestein, Ph.D.

In any school, in any classroom, in any subject area, there will always be at least a few kids who have a hard time keeping up and, often, a few who are bored silly. And now, with all the pressure to “get through the curriculum,” what’s a teacher to do?

This program looks at various differences that are possible in a room full of learners—not just academic, cognitive and experiential differences, but differences in learning styles, intelligences and temperament as well!

We’ll explore effective, success-oriented techniques for creating a learning environment in which we can encourage growth, accommodate learner needs and preferences, build cooperative goal structures and set the hurdles at just the right height for even the most diverse set of learners!

Other topics include strategies to accommodate modality strengths and limitations, accommodating kinethetic and tactile learners, focusing on the positive, grouping and pacing, data-collection tools and strategies to help in planning and management.
