The key is giving high-quality feedback that encourages growth and inspires students to learn more.

“Teachable Moments”: Create them for your students.​

 “Teachable Moments”: Create them for your students. When “teachable moments” occur, a learner’s brain says: “I am ready to learn this NOW, will you help me? Am I doing this correctly? Help me please, right now!” If the teacher recognizes the opportunity to facilitate learning and responds immediately, learning is optimized. In this workshop, immediately implementable tips are provided for creating “teachable moments.” By the end of this workshop, teachers will have a plan for creating “teachable moments” with their own students. (All Foundation and Intermediate workshop sessions are prerequisites for this session).
