Are you planning to integrate SIM in your college/university classes? Have you already created SIM syllabi for your college/university classes? If you can answer “Yes” to both of these questions, then this session is for you. This discussion will focus on five specific higher education needs: (1) How to integrate the Strategic Instruction Model in course syllabi through syllabi sharing, planning, and creating; (2) How to embed SIM objectives in your course syllabi along with the national and state professional content standards (e.g., NCATE, CEC, GLE, GEE); (3) How to evaluate/assess SIM course requirements in your classes (e.g., SIM assignment rubrics); (4) How to update the challenging school culture to make room for SIM (i.e., changing from ineffective to effective research-based teaching practices); and (5) How to create a continuing SIM support network for higher education faculty. Please bring to this session any SIM higher education documents that you have created and would like to share with the participants.We encourage you to bring laptops and flash drives for saving documents.

    Hi. It’s 10:45 am on Tues. 7/14. I’m awaiting ground transportation from KCI. I hope to arrive at your 1:00 session on time but hope you’ll excuse my late arrival if there is a delay. So looking forward to this PD! Thanks,
    Lauren
