Course description

This event is provided through TASN Co-teaching at no cost to Kansas educators. 

The Content Enhancement instructional method uses powerful teaching devices to organize and present curriculum content in an understandable and easy-to-learn manner.  Teachers identify content they deem to be most critical and teach it using a powerfully designed teaching routine that actively engages students with the content.  Teachers carry out instruction in partnership with students in a way that maintains the integrity of the content while meeting both group and individual needs.

All of the routines promote direct, explicit instruction.  This type of instruction helps students who are struggling, but it also facilitates problem-solving and critical-thinking skills for students who are doing well in class.

Content Enhancement Routines were developed by researchers at the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning. A nationally certified Content Enhancement trainer, Dr. Marti Elford, will present this workshop. The focus will be on three Content Enhancement Routines: the Unit Organizer Routine, the Concept Mastery Routine, and Concept Comparison Routine. 

Through participation in this two-day workshop, you will:

  • Receive background/overview information about Content Enhancement.
  • Learn about and how to implement four Content Enhancement Routines (CERs).
  • Develop a device for each CER using your own course materials and standards.
  • Leave prepared with at least two devices to implement in classes during first 9 weeks of school.

Participants should bring their content area materials, including texts, for use in developing supports designed to help all students.  This workshop is designed for co-teachers who teach grades 5 through 12. Co-teaching Coaches are welcome to attend with the co-teaching pair. 

Materials and a working lunch will be provided.
