Workshop: Fundamentals of a Great Lesson
Teaching is all about creating great lessons. Whatever age group or skill level you find yourself teaching, you probably spend time creating and delivering the best possible lessons in the best possible way. This workshop will look at several factors related to creating a ‘great lesson,’ including content, students, delivery, classroom, teachers, and other miscellaneous factors. This doesn't mean that teachers should come expecting a ‘magic bullet’ that miraculously transforms your future classes. Instead of being prescribed simple and quick fixes, participants will ask themselves engaging questions and reflect on their own experiences and share ideas on what makes a lesson ‘great’.
