    28. Teaching the TikTok Generation: Bite-Sized Note Taking That Actually Works

    Episode 28 of The Art of Teaching Business podcast! In this episode, I share my approach to note taking has evolved over the years and why I no longer ask students to write while I’m teaching. I introduce the Snip Note System—small, visual graphic organizers that help students listen first, then record what matters in a meaningful and memorable way. If you're looking for a more student-centered, brain-friendly way to support retention and engagement, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how note taking can become a true learning tool rather than a classroom interruption. Here is the Snip Notes YouTube video mentioned in the podcast.

    Episode 27 of The Art of Teaching Business podcast! In this episode, I share my experiences and practical strategies for motivating unmotivated students in the classroom.

    23: Enhancing Student Engagement: Teaching Active Listening in Your Classroom

    Welcome to Season 3, the 23rd episode of 'The Art of Teaching Business' Podcast, where we explore the world of teaching business education classes. I'm your host, Denise Leigh, a veteran business education teacher with 28 years in the classroom, a finalist for the 2022 Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year award, and a nationally known speaker at business education conferences. In Episode 23 of The Art of Teaching Business Podcast, I discuss the importance of active listening as a secret weapon in the classroom.  As a veteran teacher, I've discovered that many educators aren't teaching this crucial skill. I explained how I made active listening a fundamental part of my business communications course and shared its key components: maintaining eye contact, asking questions, reflecting on what we hear, being patient, and listening without judgment.  I've found that emphasizing active listening transforms classroom culture and gives students a valuable life skill for their future careers. It's not just about hearing, but understanding and being fully present in conversations.
