The New “Three Rs” of Teaching and Learning

(see information on Dorothy and Toto linked page)

Fostering Behaviors for Successful Learning

Attitude is more important than IQ. Self Esteem is critical

for survival and success in today’s world. How can we

help our students recognize, and appreciate, their individual

strengths and differences?  How can we help them stand on

their own two feet, and say no to things when they most want

to be accepted by their peers? How can we help them develop

the courage necessary to face peer pressure?

Knowing What to Ask - The Art of Questioning

(see information on Dorothy and Toto linked page.)

Conflict Resolution

In this world of electronic communication, texting and emailing

separates our students from face-to-face interaction. The by product

of this reveals poor skills in on-the-spot communication and conflict resolution. How can we help students understand that it’s not what you say, but how you say it? How can we foster productive interaction between genders, cultures, and multi-age groups?

Motivation for Students in the 21st Century

(see information on Dorothy and Toto linked page.

Involving Students In learning - Active Participation

Why do some students raise their hand, volunteer answers, and seek participation while others attempt to be invisible? How can we increase the amount of students involved in tasks assigned? How

can we preserve the dignity of students who make errors? How can

we encourage the courage to get involved in learning tasks?
