About CLI Institutes, Seminars, and Workshops

  • We begin as we would in a classroom of children, by building community and establishing a positive climate of mutual respect and trust. 
  • We activate and build background knowledge by examining research and connecting theory to practice.
     
  • Throughout the training there are multiple opportunities for active learning and involvement that include movement, hands-on experiences, and discussing and collaborating in partners and small groups.
     
  • A variety of media is used during trainings to demonstrate and record best practices, including slides, video, and charts.  Participants use a workbook during the training that includes a vast amount of supplementary articles and resources to be used for continued professional development.
     
  • Opportunities for reflection, goal setting, and planning allow for the training to be immediately applicable to classroom practice.
