Otter Valley has been home of the Moosalamoo Center since 2005. Over the years, Moosalamoo has engaged, inspired, and informed students through its ecological course offerings with real-life applications and rewards. Moosalamoo interlocks the traditional curriculum with interpersonal skills, stewardship, self-direction, and personal investment to create a high school program where marginalized students truly connect and reconnect. Join the co-founding teacher of Moosalamoo and Otter Valley’s GSP Coach as they introduce you to Moosalamoo, the Elements of Effective Instruction (EEI) Beliefs and Practices, and the EEI self-assessment. Participants will use what they learn to devise a plan of action for examining an existing course or program to start—or further—the use of the Elements of Effective Instruction.
During this session participants will review the Elements of Effective Instruction (EEI) Beliefs and Practices and complete the EEI self-assessment, explore an existing school program noting the elements used to engage students, and devise a plan of action for examining an existing course or program to start or further the use of the Elements of Effective Instruction.
