Full Session Description
In this highly engaging workshop, participants will explore innovative instructional strategies that help students become engaged and motivated life-long learners.
Participants will be challenged to consider the importance of differentiated instruction and how to effectively implement it in their classrooms. These researched-based strategies involve as many multiple intelligences and modalities of learning as possible in order to maximize student engagement and motivation thereby helping students learn more about their own learning strengths and allowing them to succeed.
We will discuss and practice specific strategies to create more opportunities for students to respond to instruction such as storytelling and synetics to build and develop language, literacy, creative expression, and brain power; hot seat to develop their social and emotional wellbeing; and more.
