Setting Your Students Up For Success!

Participant Feedback:

"Loved it Mel. I am really keen to try the paper doll or drawing thoughts/characters before writing about them in the classroom on my next CRT day. I also am a quieter teacher who loves using sign language and non verbal cues to gain student attention so am glad to add some more things to help me out in louder rooms."

"I really liked how you relate hands on experiences to engagement as that is very evident in the classroom. I quite enjoyed the various resources you provided and hope that when I get my own classroom I can use them to formulate a spelling program for my students. The paper dolls is a great way to start of a writing activity and I aim to give It a go."

"I have never thought of making paper dolls & drawing emotions to help students writing descriptions. It is much more exciting than just writing! I also really enjoyed the sign language. It is something I am willing to learn and I can't wait to try it out on the kids. Thanks for making a fun & engaging course. In turn I will try to do the same for my students :)."

Hello everyone!

This course uses Visual and Hands-On resources to explore and overcome some of the many challenges students face in their journey towards becoming literate. 

Setting Your Students Up For Success is based loosely on my successful Literacy Games PD workshop for CRTs.  This one focuses more on the core concepts of hands-on learning and how to use them to engage, motivate and educate your students!

• Common reasons for disengagement from Literacy.
• The relationship between engagement and behaviour management.
• Engaging and hands-on resources to support writing skills.
• Hands on and visual learning in english language word structure.
• Hands-on and visual strategies for prompting during writing tasks

This PD is not only to help us understand hands-on literacy in our classrooms but also how to understand how to pick engaging and effective resources and activities for our CRT "bag of tricks".

Venue:  Online Delivery (through OpenLearning.com & ClassCover's Relief Teacher Association).
