  1. Inquiring Minds Want to Know! • How to Motivate Students for Learning

  2. Tapping into Prior Knowledge • Find out what the students already know • Make a K-W-L chart to assess their knowledge and clear up any misconceptions about the topic *K: write what the students know *W: write questions about what they want to know *L: write what they learned (to be completed post-lesson)

  3. Engage through Curiosity • Use children’s natural curiosity to build motivation. • Ask child-centered questions based on their five senses.

  4. Make it Relevant! • Connect content to their real world…make it matter to them! • Discuss how the content relates to their family, self, and community.

  5. Make it Real! • Bring realia to establish concrete understanding of content like models, live organisms, posters, movie clips and videos, etc.

  6. Ease into the Classroom • Contact your assigned classroom teacher to set up observation times. • Use your classroom teacher’s expertise and watch his or her strategies in action! • Bring your calendar, plan book, and cell phone to coordinate schedules.

  7. Switch it Up! • During the lesson, active participation can be maintained through a variety of strategies. • Each child learns differently, so strategies that activate their multiple intelligences help each student access the material.

  8. Surf for Strategies! • Visit teacher-oriented websites for ideas on the multiple intelligences theory. http://www.thirteen.org/edonline/concept2class/mi/index.html • Some recommended strategies are (but not limited to): *think-pair-share *numbered heads (to assign group roles) *hand signals to check for understanding *using mini white boards for student responses. http://www.bcsc.k12.in.us/bssc/InstructionalTips/070416%20Active%20Participation%20Strategies.pdf http://www.nea.org/classmanagement/archive.html?source=google&paidkeyword=classroom+management&gclid=CP-fpITdjZQCFRIuagode186Vg
