Targeted Audience: All teachers and administrators

Designing and Delivering a Brain-

compatible Lesson: 20

Instructional Strategies That

Engage All Students. To plan and

deliver brain-compatible lessons

that address the learning styles of

all students.

Assessment: How do we know

they are learning? To design and

utilize both traditional and

authentic forms of assessment to

evaluate student learning.

While we know that not all brains are the same, there are teachers who consistently meet the needs of various brains in a well-managed, proactive classroom. Learn the secrets these teachers already know as they maximize instructional time and minimize disruptions.

Design brain-based learning activities that inspire active learning using proven teaching tools!

Attention spans, subject interest, learning

styles, and even levels of understanding vary

from student to student. Just as every

student is different, teachers have their own

personalities and teaching styles. Yet years

of research confirm that certain teaching

tools awaken the desire to learn in students

by engaging their brains; once their brains

are engaged, synthesis, and retention of

information will soar!

Participants will:

Experience 20 brain compatible strategies for delivering an effective lesson.

Learn rituals and routines to create a well managed proactive classroom environment.

Develop a classroom management plan which addresses unique student needs.

Learn how to design a brain-compatible classroom environment.

Learn strategies for managing students who provide teachers with exceptional behavior challenges including learned helplessness, ADD, oppositional and conduct disorders.

Dr. Tate believes that actively engaging students in the learning process is the best way for them to succeed in school and in life.

It stands to reason that if students

are not learning the way we are

teaching them, then we must teach

them the way they learn!

Students come to class with many different

ways of knowing. Experience 20 brain-

compatible strategies for unwrapping those

gifts, strategies such as role play, drawing,

music, or movement. Once teachers have

taught students in these ways, how do we

know that they have truly learned what we

have taught? Experience over 50 ways

(including the use of products and

performances) to determine if those

strategies are making a difference in student

achievement in your classroom.

This workshop will deal with both traditional

and more authentic forms of assessment

since both forms should be included in a

student’s overall portfolio. After all, isn’t it

better for students to produce their own

knowledge rather than to simply reproduce

yours!
