T-TESS Thursday: Engagement and Transitions


Remember, that blog post where Dr. Schoener talks about engaging and transitioning our students? Listen below-

Planning your lesson carefully to include engagement and transitions can move you from rock star proficient to accomplished. 

How do we engage?
*invite guest speakers in
*startling statistic
*personal story
*use technology
*create a game
*let students create
*let students drive the discussion
*dress up
*be passionate about your subject and work

How do we transition well?
*show or give your students an outline of the day/period
*put the timer on when transitioning
*conclude/wrap up main thoughts before moving to another topic
*before students move, always explain your expectations
