Teach to Remember (8:30 am - 3:00 pm)

MSAA Professional Development Workshop for Administrators, Teachers, Department Heads, and Instructional Coaches

Teach to Remember

“We didn’t learn this.” How many times have teachers heard this statement? Here’s why: There is a difference between acquiring knowledge or learning and retaining knowledge. Students are definitely learning; they are not remembering what they learned. This workshop will help teachers design and deliver lessons that ensure retention of content and skills so that they don’t hear that statement again!

Participants will:

·         Comprehend the types of memory

·         Understand how memories are made

·         Gain techniques for attracting and maintaining attention

·         Acquire strategies for retrieving and retaining information
