2018 Foundations Talk | 46:44 | All Grade Levels, General Classroom
Summary
Focusing upon the grammar school classroom, the workshop will offer strategies for fostering attentiveness and involvement, tips for driving the pace while allowing for thought and reflection, a plan for developing a systematic review of material taught, and a call for each minute to include sixty seconds worth of distance run. We’ll also address transitions, assignments and visual enrichments, and the various types of learning styles. We’ll also attempt to offer some wit and wisdom gleaned from observing, evaluating, and mentoring teachers for over twenty years.
