Dinah Zike Academy's Mission
To train trainers in both classroom organizational and transactional instructional strategies via interactive graphic organizers so that they more effectively engage students in mastering learning and problem-solving skills for life.
Dinah Zike Academy programs will accomplish this mission by:
- Engaging trainers to strengthen and diversify their instructional skills through practical, hands on-approaches and effective classroom organization
- Providing research bases for instructional strategies that involve scaffolding and student-made interactive graphic organizers
- Introducing trainees to variety of interactive graphic organizers (FoldablesTM) and the decision-making process for using what vehicle when in the instructional process
- Providing mentoring and guidance in a supportive atmosphere
- Supporting a wide range of teaching and learning styles that have in common the core belief that learning needs to be owned and transformed by the learner to be lasting.
- Ensuring trainees go home with graphic organizers made on-site plus actual lessons, a DVD and samples made by institute colleagues
