Recorded live in 2013, this audio talk includes wisdom and insight from Andrew Pudewa as he shares his research and stories on his journey of 25 years of studying the arts of language.
While we try to carefully choose and use the best curricula for our classrooms, several factors have a far greater impact on day-to-day teaching and learning than the differences in materials or methods of instruction. From schedule to diet and from exercise to environment, you can use simple lifestyle adjustments to make education less stressful, more joyful, and more effective.
A life-long student of motivation, Andrew Pudewa has organized fundamental ideas of motivation into categories: four forms of relevancy, three laws of motivation, and two secret weapons. This expansion of Andrewâs previous talk Teaching Boys & Other Children Who Would Rather Be Making Forts All Day includes new and updated stories, tips, and information.
Many children do not like to write. Why? This workshop will answer that basic question and teach a specific and successful method of separating the complex process of writing into the smallest possible steps, making it possible for even the most reluctant writer to produce short but complete compositions. He will be proud and motivated to write again. If you remove the problem of what to write, you will be free to help your child learn how to write, using source texts, key word outlines and âdress-upâ checklists. Results guaranteed!
As schools have made reading their new god, they believe that producing good readers will solve all their academic problems. As a result, many childrenâthe dyslexic, the easily distracted, the auditorily challengedâare left behind in the rush to improve test scores. What schools do not know (but what many parents and teachers discover) is that reading is not simply being able to rapidly decode symbols with the eyes. With humor and insight, Andrew Pudewa shares stories and strategies for helping students who need to engage the cognitive processes of reading but who are more likely to excel through a wider variety of practical, creative, and imaginative approaches.
