REAL Connections
Forge REAL connections with your students everyday!
Do you want your students invested in what you are teaching? Most days are great and you are glad that you are a teacher, but some days you leave work exhausted feeling as though you spent more time putting out fires rather than getting to the good stuff with your kids. You live for the days when you have made a connection…
- Like the day one of your students gave an unsolicited shout out to another student for helping her understand a concept
- Like the day that you worked one-on-one with a student and he finally showed you that he got it.
- Like the day you facilitated an engaging discussion in which everyone participated
- Like the day your students added a new “rule” to the community because they decided it was necessary.
You don’t want to become part of the statistic of teachers who are leaving the profession. You consider it a privilege to be invited into the lives of your students each day. You are looking for a way to connect with your students and create a string of days where you are getting to the good stuff with your students.
I felt the same as you do. I was armed with the best educational pedagogy, but I wasn’t explicitly designing my lessons to account not only for what my students were learning, but also what they were feeling and thinking.
Once I reframed how I designed lessons and experiences for my students to be anchored in the 3 design touchstones, I started to see a real difference in how my students were engaged in what we were learning.
Change the way you are designing learning experiences for your students so that you are forging real connections everyday.
In the REAL Connections course you will:
- Discover your learning pathway design superpower!
- Create your best design idea for a Real Connections learning pathway that is engaging and personally meaningful to your students.
