Get Your Teach On: Set the Stage to Engage

I need this opportunity to help me explore strategies for increasing student engagement, creativity and collaboration. While the conference lasts only 4 days, the impact on children's views of learning will be lifelong.

My Students

My classroom is full of amazing third graders that work together in an inclusion room. This type of classroom has regular education students and special education students working together in an inclusive environment. Students of all different needs and backgrounds enter my classroom. Regardless of their abilities and experiences, all of my students work together to learn and grow each day.

I am always striving to learn more about my students, and find ways to motivate them through their interests and talents.

My typical day involves students communicating with each other and collaborating ideas. Every day in my classroom is a new adventure! I am always looking for unique ways to teach content that keeps students engaged and actively participating in their education.

My Project

As a new, third year teacher, I am always looking for opportunities to learn more about teaching, and find new ways to improve my craft. Last year, a colleague of mine suggested that I read The Wild Card. This book had a profound impact on my teaching. I began thinking about the learning experiences I enjoy most, what learning experiences bring out my strengths, and what experiences my enthusiastic, active, curious third graders need to enjoy learning and recognize their own strengths as well.

Throughout this year, I have started reach outside of my comfort zone to engage my students, and to help instill in them the belief that they each have unique qualities deeply rooted inside of them to help them achieve any goal they imagine and set.

The authors of this incredible book are hosting a 4 day professional development conference in June to provide teachers with new strategies for raising student engagement, and making learning FUN. Topics at previous conferences include Engaging Readers, STEM, Social Studies & Culture, Writer's Workshop, Technology Integration, and so much more!
