Do your students flounder, flail, or fight when expected to engage in daily learning? Lurking in the vast ocean of every student's school experience is a "kraken" of curiosity desperate to be unleashed. If rising student apathy and disengagement make it feel like your ship is sinking, grab a life preserver and steer your crew to success in this entertaining, insightful session. We'll explore the neuroscience that informs a myriad of easy-to-implement, low-prep to no-prep techniques any educator can use to increase student engagement, enjoyment, and content retention, regardless of learning gifts or challenges. Fill your sails with strategies you can literally use tomorrow that foster equity and success while helping both educators and students enjoy smooth sailing.
