Introduction

In this introductory workshop, you will explore the instructional strategies of master educators.  *The Mockingbird Methodology is a responsive teaching approach that meets the biopsychosocial needs of vulnerable learners.  The research-based approach organizes strategies of Master Educators into 4 categories of teaching, strategies that make learning:

1) visible,
2) psychologically safe,
3) active, 
4) and socially non-threatening.

The 2-day workshop focuses on instructional habits in each of the 4 areas.

Participants explore the WHAT, WHY, and HOW for strategies and engage in an experiential learning experience that provides a model for the methodology approach.
