Class Description:

Educators taking this course will learn about high-engagement strategies. A high-engagement classroom begins with creating a positive, student-centered culture as well as integrating music, incorporating gamification, using movement-based learning, celebrating milestones, and offering meaningful student choice. Educators will learn effective approaches such as strengthening teacher-student relationships, using appropriate humor, and creating inclusive, active learning environments that inspire curiosity and sustained engagement.  We will discuss how and when student choice is most effective and meaningful along with topics on music and movement in the classroom. This course is a must for all educators grades K-12.
