Remote Learning and Beyond...
Learning experiences designed to support and prepare educators for our new normal.
Designing Blended Learning Experiences
In this learning experience, I will share how to engage and empower learners through meaningful experiences. I will walk educators through the 3 Es (Engage, Experience, and Empower) and how they can be used to cultivate a willingness to invest, create an opportunity to learn, and encourage authentic connections beyond the walls of the classroom. I will also share the importance of weaving life-ready and SEL skills into the experiences that we design as well as share practical ideas that can be implemented immediately.

Utilizing Passions to Ignite a Love for Learning
Many of our learners have lost their love for learning because of our current circumstances. They are tired, unmotivated, and unwilling to invest in learning just for the sake of doing so. Finding a passion and learning through that passion has the potential to change their perspective and help them see learning through a new lens. In this learning experience, I'll share the 6 Ps of Genius Hour (Passion, Plan, Pitch, Project, Product, and Presentation) and how they can be used to support this type of learning both at home and in the classroom.

Designing for Depth: Digital Differentiation that Works
Differentiation is not optional, regardless of our situation. A one-size-fits-all approach will never work. In this learning experience, I'll share how educators can use specific tools to differentiate for every learner. I will explain how to design for depth so that gifted learners are given the opportunity to learn in a way that not only makes sense but also provides that depth of learning that many of them need in order to invest.

These trainings, as well as any of the trainings below, can provided in two virtual formats (see below). Please contact me to learn more about options that will work best for you, your campus, or your district.

3Es Learning Experience
This experience will be designed using the 3E Model (Engage, Experience, and Empower). Learners will be engaged through content that is provided prior to the virtual training. The virtual connection (learning experience) will be 1.5 hours and will provide the opportunity to learn new information. Finally, educators will be empowered as they are given the opportunity to use what has been learned within their individual situations. |
Half-Day Learning Experience
This learning experience will take place over the course of three hours with two 15-minute breaks. The breaks will be opportunities to ask questions, collaborate, or just grab a snack. This experience will also be extremely interactive. Educators will be given the opportunity to learn by doing as they are given the opportunity to truly invest in the experience. |
"Andi was the keynote at our conference at a time of uncertainty during the middle of the COVID pandemic. She instantly bonded with our audience of nervous, exhausted teachers and had them chiming into discussions and polls. They enjoyed her real-world applications and hands-on style and have been begging to have her back!" - Melissa Saphos, ESC Region 6
"Andi changed the way that I saw PD. She reignited my passion as a learner and therefore as a teacher. I consistently walk out of her PD feeling a renewed sense of purpose and hope for my classroom and the next generation of learners." - Megan Puckett, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD

Keynotes
My keynotes are designed to shift mindsets and change perspectives. I spend time helping the audience understand the why first and then move into how to make what it is that we are addressing happen in any classroom, on any campus, or in any district. I take time to really connect and create an experience that is not only meaningful, but lots of fun!

Consultation and Designing for Change
- I absolutely love working with school districts to create experiences for their learners. Professional learning doesn't have to be a presentation. My consultations are designed to take place during PLC time, planning time, or any other opportunity for small groups to come together and develop solutions.
- I am also passionate about helping district administrators create meaningful change and drive innovation. I believe that school should be an experience instead of place and would love the opportunity to work with you to create change on your campus or throughout your district.
Workshops, Conferences, and Virtual Trainings
Genius Hour Professional Learning Experiences
💡 Passion-Based Learning Academy - 2 (or 3) Day Experience
This learning experience is designed for campuses and districts that want educators to be able to implement passion-based learning in the classroom with confidence. Day 1 will be an introduction to Genius Hour and the 6 Ps. Educators will experience technology tools that make Genius Hour both manageable and meaningful and begin thinking about what Genius Hour will look like in their classroom with their learners.
Day 2 will provide teachers with tools and ideas to take Genius Hour to the next level by gamifying the 6 Ps and making Benefit Mindset a priority. This day also involves learning how to weave the standards into this type of learning so that students are learning through application.
If a campus or district opts for Day 3, I will stay on campus and be available for questions, coaching, and additional support.
💡 The 6 P's of Genius Hour
Every student deserves an opportunity to pursue his or her passion during the school day. In this learning experience, I will explain how Genius Hour can be used to encourage today's learners to be innovative and think differently. By sharing the 6 P's - Passion, Pitch, Plan, Project, Product, and Presentation, I will explain how the Genius Hour process can be manageable for educators and meaningful for students. Educators will leave this experience with technology tools for each of the 6 P's and practical ideas regarding outside experts and weaving the standards into each project. This is the one training every educator that is considering implementing Genius Hour MUST have!
💡 Game On: Taking Genius Hour to the Next Level
This learning experience is for educators who have seen the power of Genius Hour and are ready to take it to the next level. Learn how to make Genius Hour more than just a piece of the school day and instead, the way that students learn. Throughout the experience, we will explore the Benefit Mindset and how it can be used to make Genius Hour about so much more than just a project that results in a product. Educators will be given practical advice about how to encourage their learners to design projects that will impact others and create change.
💡 Genius Hour: Making It Happen
Educators are often excited after Genius Hour training and can't wait to implement it into their classrooms. However, when things are not easy and there are questions that need to be answered, it becomes overwhelming. I know this feeling well as I implemented Genius Hour in my own classroom for several years. In an effort to support educators as they make Genius Hour happen in their own classrooms, I am available to offer virtual support at faculty meetings, during conference periods, and even after school for educators that have questions or need a more personalized experience.

Gifted and Talented Professional Learning Experiences
💡 Tools of the Trade*
Teaching gifted students requires us to be creative and find ways to engage and empower them even when they are not in our classrooms. Find out how technology can be used to do just that. In this learning experience, I will share with educators how to know if technology is meaningful and why it is important to use these tools to help students make connections. Educators will leave this experience excited about the potential ways to engage their gifted learners in meaningful learning experiences using technology tools that are accessible and easy to use.
💡 Meaningful Differentiation for Gifted Learners*
Differentiation for gifted learners is more than just assigning a more challenging activity or giving more work. It’s important that we understand today’s gifted learners and what they need at school to not only be engaged but empowered. Designing meaningful learning experiences, rather than just assigning activities, is essential if we want gifted learners to grow and achieve both inside and outside of the classroom. In this learning experience, I will share practical ways that educators can provide meaningful differentiation in the classroom for today’s gifted learners.
* While these learning experiences were designed to address gifted learners, they can be customized to include all learners as well.
General Education Professional Learning Experiences
💡 The Messy Middle of Innovative Learning
Innovation isn't easy and can get messy. In this learning experience, I will share how to not only survive the messy middle but how to grow and become better because of it. Learn practical ideas for making the most of difficult situations, understanding what to do when you feel like giving up, and how to create a culture of willingness...even when things get messy!
💡 Creating The Perfect Bite
Teachers' plates are full. So many educators feel like they are unable to continue to carry the plate because we are keeping everything separated. We ask teachers to address social emotional learning, use technology, and make digital citizenship a priority just to name a few. What we aren't doing is helping them understand how to mix these things together to create the perfect bite when designing learning experiences for their students. In this workshop, I'll share how to weave so many of the things that we are expected to do in our classrooms into every experience that educators design.
💡 Differentiation: A New Perspective
Differentiation doesn’t mean that every learner gets a different experience, it means that they experience it differently. In this learning experience, I will share what differentiation is, what it’s not, and practical tools that can be used to make it manageable and meaningful in the classroom. Educators will leave this learning experience with a new perspective and ideas that can be implemented immediately into any classroom.
💡 The Possibility of the Unexplored
80% of the world's oceans are unexplored. We have no idea what exists, what's possible, and what might be beneath the surface of the unexplored waters. Because of the difficulty, risk, and cost associated with exploration, we are unaware of the potential that lies beneath. What if the same is true for student learning? What if we have only scratched the surface of our learners' potential because of our unwillingness to be uncomfortable, fear of taking risks, and inability to see what's possible? In this presentation, I will acknowledge the difference between surface level learning and deep understanding as well as share practical ideas that can be used to shift mindsets and inspire educators to see the possibilities.
💡 Reflection - The Missing Piece to the Learning Puzzle
John Dewey said, "We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on an experience." In this learning experience, I will explain how reflection can be used to make learning meaningful for today's learners. Educators will also understand the difference between reflection and remembering. When done well, reflection gives students an opportunity to make connections and take their learning to the next level. Educators will leave this experience with a toolkit full of ways to make reflection a priority in their own classrooms.
💡 Meaningful Maker Spaces
Maker spaces have become very popular in education. While designing, creating, and making are all very important for today's learners, it is also important that we are engaging them in activities that are meaningful and relevant. In this learning experience, I will explain why it is so important that our students have time during their school day to produce. I will discuss what a meaningful maker space looks like and what is needed to make it successful. I will also share a variety of ideas for creating a maker space that will give students that opportunity to focus on life-ready skills. I will discuss how to implement the 4 C's + 1R - collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, and reflection - into a maker space, as well as how to encourage students to be willing to take risks and learn by doing.
💡 What If?
"What if"...two small words that should be playing a big role in the education conversation right now. Learn how to make a student-driven classroom a reality as we discuss the importance of student voice. Throughout this learning experience, we will hear "what if's" from students, educators, and administrators. Together, we'll explore practical ways to make the "what if's" a reality for today's learners.
💡 Digital Leadership
We've all spent a lot of time talking about digital citizenship and while it's very important, it's also important to begin to see our learners as digital leaders. Rather than focusing on what they can't do online, it's important to help them understand what they can and should be doing online. What tools do they need to lead online? How can we encourage them to become leaders instead of followers? In this learning experience, educators will learn how to design experiences in their own classrooms that will encourage digital leadership and give today's learners an opportunity to see social media for what it is, an opportunity to promote themselves positively and share ideas that can impact others.
