“What do you mean they don’t understand it? I taught it!”
You spend hours preparing and teaching, but the students still don’t really understand. Or, your students remember it for the test but cannot apply it at the next level. And all the while, they treat learning as a job to be done not something they look forward to doing. If this is happening at your school, you are not alone.
The good news is that this can change, and Dr. Linnea Lyding can provide the tools. Using her extensive experience working with students of all abilities, Linnea knows how to create and use practical, research-informed practices to teach content, engage students in learning, and lead to better retention. These practices engage students emotionally, behaviorally, and cognitively.
When Linnea comes to your school, you not only hear about strategies, you experience them as well. This way you know how your students feel emotionally and what happens cognitively while they are doing the activity. Experiencing the strategy enables you to plan appropriately to meet your goals. The types of things Linnea might share are:
Fun, simple ways to strengthen vocabulary development and usage. Vocabulary is the foundation of learning new content. One teacher said, “For the first time, all of my students are getting 100% on their vocabulary tests!” By the way, about 35% of this teacher’s students had IEPs.
Exciting ways to include repetition in your day. We know the value of repetition and recall for retention, but how can we make repetition interesting? These activities are so much fun that students will beg you to them do again.
How to use movement without losing time and control of your class. One teacher said, “I love that the students are learning while they are moving. I don’t feel like I’m losing teaching time this way!”
In the classrooms where teachers have worked with Linnea, students have fun, sit on the edge of their seats, and are captivated learners.
By using research-informed practices like the ones in my freebie, your students will make amazing connections in their brains
