Creating Captivated Learners
The students are sitting on the edge of their chairs waiting for the next part of the lesson. Can you picture it? Is this what you would like your classroom to look like? In this session you will experience research-informed strategies that not only keep students on the edge of their seat waiting for the next thing, but they also intentionally engage students emotionally, behaviorally, and cognitively. These exciting strategies can actually reduce teaching time because there is stronger retention. Participants will leave with numerous ideas that can be used immediately!
“Thank you for a wonderful session at the Forum! I so enjoy and always make sure to attend your sessions. Thank you for giving practical takeaways for our classrooms.”

There’s MAGIC in this Classroom
Current brain research has shown that connecting to background knowledge, demonstrating relevance, using novelty, and movement are all critical pieces in creating a strong, effective learning environment. When these elements are included in instruction, motivation and memory for all students increases. Using her extensive experience working with students with learning differences, Dr. Lyding uses research to create practical, relevant strategies for classroom use. The professional development is based on the acronym MAGIC which stands for Movement, Attitude, Gestures, Intrigue, and Connections.

The M&M’s of Brain Research: Find your sweet spot
There is so much information out there about brain research. How can you navigate what is relevant and valuable? These sessions use research–informed active learning strategies to enable the participants to articulate the meaning of terms used in brain research, differentiate the myths from truth, create mystery, and increase working memory. Then, considering how the brain makes meaning, the participants will explore and practice techniques they can bring back to the classroom.
Make a Move on Reading…
Movement and reading? The combination does not seem to make sense, but the link is powerful! In this session, participants participate in the strategies that they can use in their classrooms. Dr. Lyding uses concrete, easy to use strategies to teach phonics, syllable types, vocabulary, and comprehension.
Good Move
When movement is connected to learning, it’s a good move. The link between physical movement, cognition, and learning is well established. While physical movement clearly has a positive impact on learning, many teachers wonder where to start. In this interactive and highly engaging session, Dr. Lyding will offer concrete and easy-to-use strategies that teach content, engage students in learning, and lead to better retention in the classroom.
FIRE up your Teaching…
Keeping students engaged does not end in K-12. It continues in college, but not all college instructors have been trained in methods to increase engagement and learning. This session provides practical, easy to use strategies that can help any instructor create more physical, emotional, and cognitive engagement in the classroom which in turn creates stronger retention.
