This interactive professional learning session focused on practical, research-based engagement strategies that teachers can implement with little preparation and immediate impact. Participants explored how movement, visible thinking routines, and retrieval practices increase student engagement, attention, and retention. Through hands-on activities such as Four Corners, Hexagonal Thinking, Think-Pair-Share, and Would You Rather, teachers experienced strategies from a student perspective and collaborated on ways to adapt them to their own content areas. The session concluded with opportunities to select and plan for implementing at least one new engagement strategy, with optional technology tools to enhance classroom learning.
Harris will be joining me to provide insight and examples as to how this can be applied to BB curriculum.
This year, due to the BB tie, this session will be more geared towards Elementary.
