This session allows for seamless implementation within the classroom by building off of the lessons and curriculum already existing within the attendee’s classroom. Through sparking attendee interest and nurturing their own creativity, this session will bring out the personal best of the educator and in turn, bring out the personal best in their students.
Through strategies of engaging learners and fostering an inclusive environment through equitable, collaborative, and creative student-led work, students develop skills in diverse perspectives, intrinsic motivation, and confidence. Attendees will see firsthand student examples of projects, engagement, and learning. Evidence of success will be shown through video clips of my classroom being featured on NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, Good Morning America, CBS Mission:Unstoppable, and various other large media platforms for our positive, inclusive, and innovative classroom.

This session is an immersive experience starting from the moment attendees enter. As the presenter, I will be dressed as a gameshow host, playing game show instrumental music, using a game show host voice, and allow attendees to interact with the presentation game board slide and playing games. Each digital game board piece is linked to a different lesson, activity, and template for attendee use. There will be aspects of interaction, hands-on making, and opportunities to plan.
