Exemplary Teaching<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Transforming your classroom from one of forgettable mundane lessons to one still being spoken about at a 30 year reunion for being exemplary.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have all had those classes. You know, the ones where the teacher comes in, tells you what to read, what problems to do, might discuss the problems at the end of the day, and tells you when the test is. How much do you remember from that class? Probably very little to nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n

What can we gain from teachers like Mr. Conniff and others who have shown extraordinary practices? They all tend to follow a form of teaching focused on the Emotional Connection <\/strong>of content\/lessons to the students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we make Emotional Connections?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
