Becoming a Wiz at Brain-Based Teaching

This presentation was great. Being able to learn in small groups seems to be what works best for this class, and I know I enjoy it more than lecture. Team 1 did an awesome job of creating engaging activities while modeling the process of joining them under an overarching theme. For me, the most meaningful part of the presentation was the station that focused on student ownership of the classroom. I really like the idea of having students write a meaningful quote and designating a wall of the room simply for that sense of ownership and motivation. It's definitely a strategy I plan on using in the field!
