Revist some of the same student engagement strategies presented at last year's LEAD conference with some new and exciting strategies included. Presented from the perspective of a secondary teacher but easily adaptable to most grade levels.
Are you teaching in a classroom that doesn’t look—or feel—like the “traditional” four walls and rows of desks? Whether it’s robotics, art, ag, health, culinary, shop, or anything in between, non-traditional classrooms come with unique challenges... and some pretty amazing opportunities.
In this high-energy session, you’ll get real-life, tried-and-true strategies from a teacher who’s living it. Walk away with practical tools you can implement right away to create structure, routines, and student ownership—without killing creativity or fun.
We’ll dive into:
Why consistency is queen
How student jobs can transform your class culture
Easy systems to manage materials, projects, and transitions
Creating clear expectations in creative, hands-on environments
Ways to keep your cool when the glue guns (or attitudes) heat up
You’ll leave inspired, equipped, and maybe even with a few fun freebies. Let’s turn your “organized chaos” into a space where students—and you—can thrive.
