Week 6 Debrief: 13/9/2013

Significance is the main gateway to successful teaching, engagement and learning.  Students will have a willingness to learn if they learn about content that is significant to their lives.  As a teacher, it is our responsibility to create the idea of significance for students.  At the end of the day they will decide themselves what is valuable to them but it is possible to foster the idea of significance in students.  A good introduction and a hook will help connect students to the subject area being taught and may assist in engaging them.  We have the content in the form of a syllabus, however it is HOW we teach this syllabus that makes a difference between a success or failure in the classroom.  Creativity is important strategy to harness the main element of a successful lesson – ENTHUSIASM!  If your students are enthusiastic, they will want to learn!  This involves both creativity as aforementioned along with aiming to create an idea of inclusivity – bringing the knowledge of the classroom into their lives to establish significance.  At times school is the only form of stability children have.  By harnessing an environment of connectedness, you will create a willingness to learn.
