Students need to be engaged, more than ever in our lessons, so that they are able to succeed with the rigorous Common Core Standards. In order to do this, educators need to keep up with all the changes which are taking place in the educational field. This course will explore ways in which you can teach material in exciting new ways to your students. What better way than through movement! Our students become much more engaged in the learning process when they are a true part of it. Strategies practiced in this course will help you reach your students so that they will be able to build on their reading and listening comprehension skills. If you are an educator of grades K-12 in the areas of ELA, Art, Social Studies, Math, Science, Foreign Language or ESL, this course will help you to better understand and incorporate new strategies in your classroom. NYS Standards, student’s assessments, goals and outcomes, and CCSS will be addressed.
