Implementing the Workshop Model

This workshop provides educators with the knowledge and tools to implement the Workshop Model effectively in their classrooms. It covers the core structure—mini-lesson, work time, and debrief—and explains how this model fosters independence, creativity, and differentiated learning. Participants learn strategies for setting up the classroom, managing transitions, and troubleshooting challenges to ensure smooth operation. The session also includes practical guidance on grouping students, conferencing, and integrating goal-driven activities to maximize student engagement and achievement.
