2009-2010 TSS Blog: MARCIA TATE- Brain Based Strategies
I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and I have shared with my mentee some of the 20 strategies I learned. I myself have started to use music more in the classroom especially during Writer's workshop and if I forget to turn the music on during writing my students are quick to remind me. My students have received the greatest impact with my new enthusiasm for instruction...we have role played Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott and I was almost on the floor with their reactions to having to give up their seat on the bus. I have used more visuals in math and manipulatives to help students gain a greater understanding of the concept and standard. I am also using some of the praise gestures and taking a few moments each day to laugh with my students. I am hoping to incorporate more strategies and make some much needed changes in my classroom.
I like the fact that Marcia made the workshop interesting, interactive and personal. Her energy level got me pumped not only to teach better but to take care of me in a better way.
