Culture, purpose and
structured teaching
A blended learning conference featuring
Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey
March 27, 2015
What will I learn?
The ideas you will bring back to the classroom
are based on the FIT Teaching™ (Framework
for Targeted and Intentional Teaching™) toolkit,
which incorporates the key concepts from four
ASCD books by Doug Fisher and Nancy Frey.
Together these practices create an integrated
approach to designing and delivering highquality instruction in every classroom every
day. Fisher and Frey will share how FIT
Teaching can result in high levels of student
achievement in all student populations.
