Description
In order to connect with the people we work with, author Simon Sinek states that we need to get to the “Why?” of what we are doing. The “How?” and the “What?” are the body of Sinek’s “Golden Circle,” but the “Why?” is the heart. In teaching we can call this an intrinsic motivation for learning — finding out what is important to students and then connecting learning to those internal motivators.
In “What’s In It For Me?”, teachers will learn how to connect this strategy to T-TESS Planning Dimension 1.3 and will learn four specific tools for accomplishing that goal. These tools can be used in planning any lesson, across subject areas and grade levels.
In this 1-hour course, teachers will learn:
- How connecting students with the “Why?” fulfills T-TESS Planning Domain, Dimension 1.3 by creating compelling lessons that connect to the social-emotional needs of students
- Why creating relevance is essential for investment in the curriculum
- Tools for creating interesting and compelling lessons that will foster students’ intrinsic motivation
This course specifically addresses the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-TESS).
