We can often be our own worst enemy when it comes to keeping students' attention. As an example, we use the Round Robin technique to ensure students participate equally. The problem with this approach is that it signals to students that when done participating (e.g., answered the question), it is time to relax, tune out, and ignore the rest of that lesson. What to do? Adding an element of chance and randomness (DICE) into your flow of lessons can greatly increase student participation and attention. You can have students roll to do certain tasks, assign specific tasks, or a combination thereof. The idea is that they will not know when they may be called on, and when their number comes up, the expectation is for them to participate. Keeping it random prevents students from getting lax in their attention and sends the very powerful signal that at any time, they are responsible for the information and learning within the classroom. This Polyhedral 7-Die Set with velveteen bag allows you to roll any number at any time.
Every math, science, social studies, and English classroom needs this book. There are 50 lessons with rubrics and critical thinking verbs that engage all learners. Eight out of ten students are dominant hands-on learners, and many of them struggle daily to sit still, listen, and write down the assignment. This book allows students to use hands-on activities to learn the content and to know they have completed the assignment correctly. Each lesson engages students individually.
This is a music CD. Teachin’ The Blues Away lyrics were written for the classroom teacher and are riddled with tips, strategies, and ideas mixed together with Blues music. Vocals are by John Carswell. Mr. Carswell has played with artists like Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, and Muddy Waters. This CD celebrates both the challenges and joys of teaching through unique performances.
