Elevated Excellence: Spark an Idea & Setting Up Your Classroom
Spark an Idea
This course is designed to take a STEM approach to any content area and can be used to encourage children to learn the way that they naturally learn through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic skills. It will focus on creating a safe learning environment to build a trusting relationship between the teacher and the student so that learning is exciting even when it is challenging rather than a student being fearful of failure. Success in the classroom starts with a teacher recognizing how a child learns best for each individual in their classroom and adapting their approach to the curriculum so that every child can learn.
Setting Up Your Classroom
This course focuses specifically on beginner teachers preparing for a new school year. It is easy for first-year teachers to feel lost or overwhelmed by the amount of preparation required to set up a classroom for those students on the first day of school and for the remaining year.
This training module is designed to prioritize what is most important and how to ask for help in getting prepared. Every teacher needs to understand their classroom environment and what is provided by the school in order to determine the best learning spaces to create for their students.
