Focus on Engaging Instruction

"It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts... it is to teach them to think, if that is possible, and always to think for themselves.
-- Robert Hutchins

Announcements:

• Student Success Manual Forms/templates are available on the resources page--more coming soon!

• Welcome to the new website. This professional learning community was created as part of an applied learning theory class I took  to complete my administrative certificate. Student- or learner-centered instruction to increase student cognitive engagement  is a special interest of mine. Please take some time to look around on the site. It is designed to help administrators, coaches, and teachers design, implement, and evaluate student-centered, cognitively and metacognitively-active classrooms in order to better serve the needs of our students.
• Check out this activity to use as a guide through the website.
• Special thanks to Dr. Jack McGovern at the BCIU for his guidance in this class.
• Special thanks to Jen Jakl for sharing her wonderful collection of materials.
