Reaching & Teaching

Un motivated Un interested Students

===Teachers must reach kids, intellectually and emotionally, before any learning happens. Students at the ends of the learning continuum, those have been either unmotivated or unchallenged by traditional teaching can be especially hard to reach. === ===This course will explore instructional strategies (brain-compatible teaching strategies, flexible grouping, etc.), uses of formative assessment and meta-cognition, and curriculum compacting, in order to engage hard-to-reach, uninterested, seemingly unmotivated students. Educators will also learn ways to use of wikis, glogster, podcasting, and ipod/itouch to engage students in the classroom and individualize learning. === ===The class will be delivered as a hybrid model – the first two classes will meet live to establish collegial community, the third class will be offered online, alternating each week thereafter. This model creates “user-friendly “opportunities for class participants to build their own comfort level with the use of technology and increase the role it plays as a part of their teaching practice. ===
