We are so excited to have Rushton Hurley joining us to share some of his awesome, practical tips for lots of small things that can make a huge difference in providing the best possible instruction to support learners in your classroom while keeping your sanity as a teacher. Rushton's positive, comfortable style spiced with humor and great stories always leaves us feeling motivated and inspired to give our very best every day!
Webinar description:
Every last one of us can improve. How we try to capture attention and inspire our students intellectually can take many forms, and I would contend that any effort to improve this without a focus on what can be cool and fun lessens one's chances of success. In this Classroom 2.0 Live session, we'll look at easy ways of getting better at getting higher quality from our kiddos. Join in for some cool, fun, and practical ideas!
