My strategies help you build student motivation which in turn increases student participation. Fun, engaging lessons are at the heart of building a classroom that has participation from all students. We also introduce methods for creating an inquisitive classroom, where students are free to question the material and explore the curricula in greater depth. By honoring student voice, giving them more opportunities to respond to instruction and presenting the material in several modes and intelligences of learning, we greatly increase the chances our students will discover more ways of learning. If we teach to their strengths and help them overcome their weaker areas, they will have more tools for their own learning.<\/p>\r[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Do you use strategies that promote attention and interest and garner greater participation in the classroom?” module_class=”iframe-half iframe-right” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]
You are competing for your student\u2019s attention every day. In today\u2019s dynamic world it is hard to grab interest in biology or algebra! Through randomization and story-telling, I present very specific methods to re-engage your students and increase participation in your classroom. A student who isn\u2019t interested is not likely to care about the lesson. Approaching instruction by using their vernacular, experiences, and points of view will greatly increase their interest and understanding of your lesson.<\/p>\r[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Can you make your lessons more relevant and engaging?” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]
Students get frustrated if they don\u2019t understand the task at hand.\u00a0 Because of our busy time tables and schedules, we are often forced to \u201cpress-on\u201d just to get through the material.\u00a0 Even given these circumstances you can create memorable moments for your students and greatly improve the chance they catch the meaning of your lessons and attach them to their own experiences through the use of synectics and other strategies taught in my course!\u00a0 Reducing confusion and increasing understanding go hand in hand with my approaches to creating more relevant and engaging lessons.<\/p>\r[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Do you wish your students were more connected to the curriculum?” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]
We present methods to increase \u201cAha!\u201d moments by connecting concepts in the curricula with student voice and experience.\u00a0 Using strategies that honor student voice and allow them to approach the lesson from their areas of strength, will reduce resistance to learning and increase opportunities for your students to respond accordingly to the curricula.<\/p>\r[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Can we promote a sense of self-efficacy in our students?” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]
Your state and school WILL put your students to the test and expect them to perform.\u00a0 My course will help you teach students to function under increased pressure!\u00a0 Except for performers and athletes, most of our students are not ready, or have little experience, to perform on demand.\u00a0 Through my dynamic tension strategies, you will teach your students how to work under pressure.\u00a0 When student\u2019s truly \u201cearn\u201d their knowledge in such conditions, they are much more likely to understand how they learn best and feel motivated to learn even more.\u00a0 By allowing our students the time and opportunity to struggle a bit, we give them that moment of understanding when, through their own efforts, they discover the concept or answer for themselves.<\/p>\r[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Do you get frustrated reinventing the wheel? ” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]
Too often teachers are left on their own to figure out what works and what doesn\u2019t work. Learn a powerful strategy to increase dialogue between teachers and administrators and to showcase the best lessons that are being taught in your building, in your grade level, or department. Learn how to record and share your very best lessons and make them available for other teachers. By doing so you will preserve the best and most effective lessons. New teachers will greatly benefit as well as educators who suddenly have to change grades or subjects! Having a reliable and accurate method of sharing our very best lessons can increase teacher retention as well as student achievement. My matrix allows you to record your most engaging lessons, share them with others, and also track where we are lacking in either depth of knowledge or mode of learning.<\/p>\r[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Supports, PBIS, RTI, PLC\u2019s and other fine programs.” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]
