Publisher's Synopsis
You have just spent countless hours planning the perfect lesson. You know exactly which instructional strategies to use, how to group the students, and how you will assess for learning. The smile on your face is bigger than yesterday and you are determined to change a child's life. You cannot wait to see your student's faces light up when you teach this dynamic lesson. The materials are ready to go, you are well prepared, and there you are in the spotlight teaching this splendid lesson. Then, you look out at your students and heads are on the desk, several students are yawning, someone is playing with pencils, and to your surprise someone is actually on their cell phone --- you have planned for everything, except the lack of student energy and engagement!
However, there is a solution! This book is made up of 101 Ways to Get Teaching Restored When Students Grow Bored! The interactive strategies in this book can complement any lesson you already have! You no longer have to spend countless hours planning for ways to excite your students about learning, but instead use the strategies in this book to include them in the learning. Whether you are a first year teacher or 30-year veteran, getting students up and moving to learn can be challenging, but when implemented, students will thrive in their learning and teachers will be released from doing all the work!
