Gourd, instructor and coach from the UW College of Education, offered pedagogical support over the course of both sessions, focusing on \u201cTranslating Knowledge into Curriculum.\u201d She detailed one approach and three different methods for teachers to employ in their classrooms. Gourd explained the merits of Problem Based Learning, an approach which challenges students to grapple with a large, compelling real-world problem or project focused around a driving question. She also presented three different methods of engaging students in such a project utilizing inquiry, deliberation, and seminars. Teachers were encouraged to break off into groups to share and brainstorm experiences and strategies for employing these methods in their own classrooms. Finally, teachers were invited to offer an evaluation of the two-day workshop which will help the centers provide even more targeted support to local educators in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a National Resource Center for Russian, East European, and Central Asian Studies, the Ellison Center offers master teacher workshops for local community educators.
