Improving education by training teachers

to succeed in the classroom

Our Story

We are teachers. We have lived first hand the trials and exhilaration of being in the classroom. Together we share over 35 years experience learning what works well in the classroom and within the school walls.

Our Mission

Well Spoken provides applicable training for classroom teachers and school administration so that students can succeed in a complex society.

INTERACTIVE TEACHING

Seminar #1

Learn strategies to engage your students in purposeful learning, enhance their processing and deepen their understanding. This will increase their ability to think actively and develop stronger memory and comprehension in your classes.

HIGHER LEVEL THINKING

Seminar #2

Twenty first century young people need to know how to be both critical and creative thinkers. Explore ways to move beyond remembering content to analyzing, evaluating and synthesizing at higher levels. Learn a framework that will help teachers be more intentional about building higher levels of thinking in their classrooms. Furthermore, examine how technology can aid this process.

DESIGNING EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION

Seminar #3

Planning effective lessons is a key activity for educators. Discover a method for curriculum design that will improve learning and assessment, and ensure that goals and objectives are being reached.

REMEMBERING WELL

Seminar #4

Remembering well is a key component of learning. Understand how memory works and learn strategies for helping students shift information from short-term to long-term memory more effectively.

ASSESSMENT PROCESS

Seminar #5

Giving effective assessments and feedback to students is a vital part of a teacher’s role. Learn about formative and summative assessment processes and how to use them in your classroom successfully.

DEVELOPING HABITS OF MIND

Seminar #6

Learn thinking skills that will help your students apply learning to unfamiliar situations. Help them develop flexible thinking and persistence in their educational and personal growth.

Learning thru Reflection

Learning is not simply the transfer of ideas. Nor is it only the result of experience. True learning comes from reflecting on our experience. This process is best facilitated by others who have gone through the process of reflection and can help guide us through the same process: TEACHERS. Well-Spoken seeks to be such a guide to teachers by providing schools not only applicable training seminars but also follow up observations so that timely and specific feedback can be provided to those teachers seeking to apply what they learned in the seminars.
