How-To Teaching Guide Offers Modern Strategies To Improve Learning Habits
While it may not solve every issue you encounter as an educator, Elizabeth Jorgensen's latest teaching guide is certain to inspire you to rethink the way you teach.
Published by Times 10 Publications as part of their "Hack Learning" series, "Hacking Student Learning Habits" is a quick and easy guide on exactly what the title suggests. It lays out 9 strategies that you can use to better understand the needs and motivations of your students in order to get them to more fully engage with the material.
Primarily, the book focuses on reward structures and incentivization, which Jorgensen presents as one of the primary driving factors behind student wellbeing and retention. In her view, the current punitive pass/fail grading system discourages things like parallel thinking and other productive, creative forms of engagement with the material.
Overall, Jorgensen presents advice that is applicable to teachers at all grade levels and subject areas, making this one of the most universal teaching guides in the series.
If you are having trouble getting through to your students, this guide is an ideal source of inspiration to help you build more inventive, varied, and engaging lesson plans.
