What did you see? What did you learn?

“Classroom” Management

• “The best form of classroom management is a great lesson plan”-Rafe Esquith (Teach Like Your Hair is on Fire)– This does not just apply to kids or school groups. If

someone is misbehaving, the most positive thing to do is redirect them to something that is engaging.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

• Be adaptable• Be engaging, and then let visitors use what

they have learned• Encourage critical thinking and discovery• “WHAT questions do you have?”

Experiences

• Do you have ideas to share?
