Workshop & Training Sessions
Active Engagement is a key ingredient to powerful, effective and impactful instruction. Yet moving from passive or compliant engagement to active is also one of the most challenging practices to build as a consistent part of every day practice. This secret sauce to many aspects of education and it can be approached with a variety of lenses. Through all of these lenses I have developed a series of workshops and sessions that can be stand alone, combined, or delivered in an academy approach. The following are the different topics addressed over the 5 day workshop that can be provided over time one day at a time or 5 days in a row: -Active Engagement -Instructional Strategies (Cooperative Learning) -Rigor & Relevance (Triangular Alignment) -Sheltered Instruction -Restorative Practices -Culture, Community & Classroom -Leadership/Management -Differentiation
This session on "Introduction to Restorative Practices" is a comprehensive and interactive workshop designed for educators seeking to enhance their understanding and implementation of restorative approaches in educational settings. Educators will explore the fundamental principles of restorative practices, examining how they can foster a positive and inclusive learning environment, build stronger relationships with students, and effectively address conflicts and disciplinary issues. Through a combination of theoretical insights, practical strategies, and real-life case studies, educators will walk away knowing how to integrate restorative circles, conferences, Respect Agreements and other restorative techniques into their teaching practice to promote social-emotional growth, accountability, and community building within their classrooms and schools.
In this session, we will empower educators to collaborate, have meaningful dialogue and reflect in professional community groups (i.e., job-alike communities, grade levels, departments) and focus on identified needs. This can include areas such as meaningful lesson planning, data driven instruction, collaboration systems, curriculum implementation, strategic design and implementation, and PLC structures. By the end of this session, educators will leave with a renewed sense of collaboration and strategy. This is best implemented as a series of multiple visits.
Center for Teacher Effectiveness (CTE) has developed a one day training program to help teachers maximize their time with students. Our training is proven in proactive, research based, practical, and easy to implement strategies. We provide flexibility to best meet the needs unique to your campus. Participants will learn techniques to allow them to always be clear, concise, and consistent with students.

Motivational Keynote Speaking Session
A motivational keynote to support my entire message for educators: Be Real. Be Kind. Be You. Do this and form #RealConnections. In this Keynote, I highlight what I believe is the secret sauce to education and life in general: Real (Relevant, Engaging, Authentic and Lasting) Connections. Experience the powerful journey in breaking down what Real Connections are to people and content. Participants walk away being ready to be REAL in their connections and championed so that they can change and impact the world in a bigger way.

"Bringing Eli in to work with our team was one of the best decisions we've made. As a leader, it's crucial to provide our educators with professional development that is not only engaging but also directly applicable to their work. Eli exceeded our expectations, captivating the team with their enthusiasm and deep expertise. His ability to connect with our staff and tailor the workshop to our specific needs was truly impressive. The positive feedback from our educators and the immediate improvements we've seen in their practices speak volumes about the impact of his engagement workshop. We are grateful for the lasting benefits and look forward to future collaborations."
Heather, Teacher, NM
Participating in our new curriculum implementation session led by Eli was a remarkable experience. It was evident from the start that Eli possesses a wealth of knowledge and personal experience with the curriculum and strategies he shared. His firsthand insights and practical examples made the content incredibly relatable and easy to understand. I left the workshop feeling inspired and equipped with actionable tools to enhance my classroom practices. I don't normally walk out of a curriculum training feeling this way."
