ARE YOU READY?

to 'HATCH' Learner Success

The HATCH Workshop Series
HATCH workshops introduce participants to all components of the HATCH methodology (because good instruction involves all 5 components interacting cohesively. In HATCH, participants learn how to integrate components together (e.x. behavior management strategies within instruction and instructional strategies within culture building and resiliency) .

However each TEACH component is also offered in a single workshop.

Most participants attend HATCH and choose specialized TEACH workshops based on interest and need for increased depth and expertise. We also offer FLY, a workshop on implementation and how to build effective staff and learner accountability systems for new learning strategies.

The HATCH Methodology

HATCH is a teaching methodology designed to meet the needs of the entire learner. It is a whole learner and learner centric approach developed by educators who work with high risk learners.

HATCH is specifically designed for low resource programs that need low threshold applications to engage and motivate struggling learners. Based on cognitive and social cognitive research and implemented in over 28 states and 2 countries, Mockingbird Education's HATCH methodology encompasses instructional strategies, behavior management, culture, resiliency, and motivation strategies. A comprehensive approach, MB offers several different HATCH methodology workshops to meet your specific instructional and programmatic needs.

HATCH can be divided into 5 different components. To TEACH effectively, 5 components in a classroom must be intentionally orchestrated. The acronym TEACH represents each of the components.

T eaching Methodology for High Risk Learners:
Effective Teaching and Cognitive Learning Strategies for Struggling and Marginalized Learning Populations

The 15 laws of learning every educator should consider before designing and delivering a lesson
Strategies for instructing multi-level learners in the same classroom
Strategies to orchestrate learner motivation and attention
Strategies to maximize learner performance and build self esteem
Strategies to increase relevancy of content when learners have little academic schema
Strategies to decrease learned helplessness and learner apathy and prevent downward performance spiraling

E ducational Resiliency: Developing Academic Resiliency in Marginalized Learning Populations

Develop learner independence: Metacognitive skill to regulate and mediate their own learning processes
Develop learner ‘code’ switching: Social and navigational skills to navigate different social, cultural, and socioeconomic contexts
Develop learner critical thinking skills: strategies to make learning processes visible and accessible to all learners
Develop learner ‘future framing’ skills: Teach learners planning, problem solving, and context skills to seize future educational opportunities

A ccountability: Behavior and Classroom Management Strategies for Marginalized Learners

How to initiate 'Response on Cue' anchors and behavioral management strategies to condition learners to higher levels of success, and engagement
Developing rules, policies, and boundaries for program consistency
PSE and learner tools that communicate high expectations and accountability
How to create a common learning language for learners, educators, and program admin
How to increase learner participation through 'purpose not power' strategies

C ulture: Cultivating a Visible and Intentional Learner Centered Culture

The Laws of culture: Orchestrating deep and sustainable academic cultures
Matching program wide expectations and classroom academic expectations
Strategies that build rapport, create community, and effectively maximize classroom time so that more time is spent on instruction
Laws of Social cognition that build community and teach learner’s navigational skills

H euristics of Interactive Instruction: Instructional Heuristics to increase learner engagement, motivation, and independence

Heuristic methods are readily accessible techniques and strategies for problem solving. Instructional heuristics are readily accessible instructional strategies for problems related to learner engagement, motivation, learner interest and learner independence.
Mockingbird Education’s instructional heuristics are interactive learning strategies that require minimal resource investment. MB is committed to utilizing the best and most accessible resources found in the classroom--the learner and the teacher.

Is HATCH Training Right for You or Your Staff?

Do want to create a purposefully orchestrated culture that centers on academic achievement and critical thinking skills?
Do you have differentiated learning needs in your classroom or school?
Have you reached a plateau in your instructional effectiveness?
Do your learners struggle with poverty, class, race, culture, language, social and learning 'mismatch' in the classroom?
Does your classroom or school need more consistency and intentionality in the delivery of instruction?
Do you need clear and purposeful strategies for creating rules, policies, and rituals that build classroom cohesion and create a common language for learners, staff, and parents?
Are you interested in understanding how to orchestrate the mechanisms of learning and thinking in a classroom to improve engagement and attention?
Do your learners struggle with motivation and learned helplessness?
Do your learners struggle with attention, attendance, and behavior?
Do you need to integrate life and leadership skills into classroom curriculum without losing focus on academic outcomes?
Are your struggling learners unable to make the academic gains associated with their required outcomes?
Do you purposefully orchestrate the relationship between high risk learners and memory, retention, rehearsal, and attention? Do you need practical strategies to positively impact these factors?
Do you want to build stronger classroom communities without the use of external rewards?
Do your learners frequently struggle with attention, attendance, and behavior?
Do you incorporate cognitive and social cognitive instructional strategies in your classroom?
Are you looking for strategies that infuse joy and wonder and that counter negative feedback attendance loops?

The 'HATCH' Experience

Say goodbye to boring power points and handouts!

HATCH workshops engage participants in an interactive learning experience that provides practical strategies for the most difficult barriers facing high risk populations--academic disparity, motivation, engagement, attention, attendance, behavior, and learned self helplessness.

HATCH workshops introduce participants to Mockingbird Education’s 15 Laws of Learning. MB’s laws address the learning, motivational, and behavioral barriers that impede high risk learner success and diminish district and program outcomes. Our workshops challenge both new and seasoned professionals with concepts, solutions and strategies grounded in cognition and social cognition.

All HATCH strategies are educator created solutions that have been successfully implemented in high risk learner classrooms across the United States (and abroad!) to improve high risk learner success.
