Building character is as essential as learning to read, write, and compute.

The presenters will share their knowledge and experience in building a Character Education Program for Ages 6 to 10 in their school, and what outcomes resulted over a four-year period based on their first-hand experience.

It will present specific instructional approaches, including shared, guided and independent reading, interactive writing, writing as a process, and word study.
The workshop stresses the importance of teaching students strategies to use during and after reading as well as vocabulary building strategies. It will also touch upon assessment tools in reading.

7. Teaching and Integrating Language across the Curriculum
Mr. Andrew Etheridge, Elementary School, Ain Aar

Strategies for applying purposeful talk, spelling, writing and reading in the classroom will be demonstrated and supported with a booklet of ready-to-use activities and charts. Throughout this workshop, participants will also explore the use of assessment rubrics as an alternative to percentage grades, and will learn how this can help set expectations for student achievement.
Audience: Elementary School Teachers
8. Enriching the English Lesson with Performance Tasks
Mrs. Connie Hadba, English Department, Middle School
Mrs. Randa Soubaih, English Chairperson, Elementary School
In this workshop, teachers will explore a non-traditional method of assessing students. The Performance Task requires students to demonstrate that they can use the knowledge and skills they have acquired during the unit of study.
Workshop participants will examine a Task and its components; identify the steps involved in writing a PT and write their own Performance Task.
NB: Participants are requested to come prepared with a short story or a novel that they would be interested in using as a basis for designing their Performance Tasks.
One of the most complex tasks we ask of middle and high school students is that they write independent research papers. Drawing on previous experience with these levels in Canada and current work here in Lebanon, the presenter will take you through the process step by step: 1. Getting started with a search strategy. 2. Moving from topic to thesis. 3. Keeping track of sources. 4. Developing an outline. 5. Note-taking. 6. Editing. 7. The final draft: essay and bibliography. Learn field-testing techniques to help your students produce thoughtful, original research papers.

FRANçAIS
10. Les malheurs de l'orthographe
M. Charles Tabet, école élémentaire
L'enseignement de l'orthographe a pour objectif de faire acquérir à l'élève des compétences d'ordre phonologique, lexical et grammatical et de l'initier à l'autocorrection afin qu'il soit capable à l'aide d'instruments d'écrire correctement un texte.
Public visé : Professeurs de français du cycle primaire
Mme Samia Rocho, école élémentaire
L'objectif de ce stage est d'inciter les enseignants à exploiter un texte de lecture d'une manière active en utilisant la pédagogie différenciée:
- pousser les élèves à découvrir le texte en utilisant les indices extérieurs
- travailler le vocabulaire et les outils de la langue d'une
manière active: activités pratiques et ludiques.
Public visé : Professeurs de français du cycle primaire
12. Pivilégier l'oral en classe de français langue étrangère
Mme Edith Matta, chef du département de français, école complémentaire, Ain Aar
Beaucoup de professeurs enseignent le F.L.E. comme ils enseignent les lettres françaises. Le but de la session est de définir clairement les objectifs de cet apprentissage et de proposer des activités à mettre en oeuvre directement en classe.
Cette formation sera composée d'une présentation des objectifs de l'enseignement du F.L.E., d'un cours "type" et d'activités ludiques à partir de supports divers (publicité, bandes dessinée, photos de famille, faits divers…).
Publique visé: Professeurs de français du cycle complémentaire
13. Le temps dans le récit: approche narratologique
M. Elie Hayek, professeur de français, école complémentaire
Aborder l'étude du temps dans le récit d'un point de vue narratologique permet d'analyser les rapports temporels entre l'histoire et la narration: comment traduire le temps de l'histoire dans la narration en variant le rythme (accélération et ralentissement) et l’ordre (l’analepse et la prolepse).
Cette approche offre une gamme de techniques d'écriture que l'enseignant peut exploiter en classe.
Publique visé: Professeurs de français du cycle complémentaire
14. Argumentation, modes de raisonnement et stratégies
M. Roger Naba'a, coordinateur de français
Il est indispensable, pour cerner le champ de la notion de « stratégie argumentative » de la distinguer des modes de raisonnement qui relèvent de la « tactique argumentative » plutôt que de sa stratégie.
On pourrait définir la « stratégie argumentative » comme l'ensemble des « actions » et « moyens » successifs tendant à obtenir l’adhésion de l’autre. Ces « actions » procèdent de la « logique naturelle » (les modes de raisonnement), de la « typologie » des arguments (d'autorité, d'analogie, de causalité, de comparaison, de concession …) et des « genres intercalaires » convoqués. Enfin, cette notion implique que l’on s’intéresse davantage à la mise en scène textuelle de l'entièreté de ces actions : à leur disposition, plutôt qu’à leur structure même.
(Les participants sont priés de venir avec manuels CRDP, Premières et Terminales Scientifiques)
