Developmental Designs for High School was created specifically with 9-12th grade students in mind. Research shows that engagement in school begins to drop after 5th grade and continues through high school. 50% of students are either disengaged or actively disengaged (Gallup, 2015) by the time they leave high school. Developmental Designs practices and principles create equitable, trauma informed classrooms. These practices were created to engage students in high school classrooms in three important ways: CREATING A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY

  • Discover how 9th -12th grade developmental needs shape their learning
  • Experience four important parts of an effective advisory program
  • Learn ways to build and sustain effective learning community all day everyday

DELIVERING MOTIVATING INSTRUCTION

  • Learn the ten ‘gold’ minutes for learning in each class period
  • Experience several games, activities and brain breaks to energize and re-engage students
  • Practice and build structures/routines to create effective social interaction

TEACHING SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING

  • Practice five types of teacher language that encourage, empower and build pro-social skills
  • Learn the five needs that drive ALL student behavior
  • Examine three structures to help students master learning routines
  • Learn how to personalize discipline for equitable responses
