first class January 23

This course will investigate classroom strategies for enriching teacher presentations for diverse student groups.Recent concepts of learning alternatives developed through brain research and educational literature serve as the framework for these sessions. The focus will center on the variety of learning styles that suggest the most efficient and effective methods for inclusion into curriculum. Discussions will include a left and right-brain centered approach that will engage all learners. The results will lead to better teacher-student and student-student communication in the classroom.
