If You Want Students To Start Learning, Stop Teaching!
2024-11-15 , Zimmermann Stage

A session centered around the importance of minimizing classroom lectures and instead focusing on more holistic, multisensory teaching strategies that foster deeper, more permanent student learning.

Topics will include:
- How to make everyone in your classroom a teacher and a student (including you)
- Activity based learning as a model for moving up Bloom's Taxonomy
- Multisensory learning - don't teach to a learning style, integrate instead
- Tools for using class time for activity, not explanation
- Specific classroom activities that support better learning outcomes

The session will include fun demonstrations and participant activities to engage everyone in attendance. Session time (including time for activities) preferred at 45-60 minutes.
