Episode 136 - The Power of Choice: How to Empower Your Students for Successful Learning
Empowering our students to become successful learners is so important. In this episode, I give 3 strategies you can use to enable your students to become successful in your classroom.
Notes
Empowerment is crucial because it motivates students and engages them in learning
Encourage voice and choice (basic, but still good. Provide options, create choice boards, or tic, tac, toe lessons) Let them choose the what or the how or the where etc
Provide opportunities for leadership (students teaching others, being the expert, Jigsaw puzzle technique, simple as marking the roll for you)
Technology can be a great thing to help with this. Create choose your own adventures, or create back channels in forums during Socratic circles)
At the top end do collaborative tasks or PBL.
Challenges: Student resistance - start small and build up. Explain why you are doing it, and work with other teachers as you go. Get feedback and observation

Fantastic teacher podcast
I listen to Dans podcast on the way to work and find it a great way to get into the right mindset before teaching and learn new ways to improve my practice. I often listen to an episode more than once. Helps strengthen those neurons and assist recall! (A topic visited on the podcast)

Loving the podcast Dan! The length of the episodes and the specific focus of each is great for the commute to work. A really great resource I can use with my staff for professional learning on particular aspects of pedagogy that are a focus at our school.
