Learners Build Their Own Understanding with Constructivist Teaching and Learning (NEWM19-001)

Date: February 9, 2026

Time: 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.

Location: Zoom

Audience: Tarrytown RO

This seminar addresses one of the priorities of the NYS Teaching Standards: understanding how each student learns. Participants will explore Constructivist Teaching and Learning and what it looks like in the classroom. Teachers will examine a variety of instructional strategies that allow students to "build" their own learning. When students classify, analyze, predict, and create, they begin to think critically, ask questions, and develop a deeper understanding of complex material—both in school and in the world.

Meets Standards II, III, IV, V
