Literacy Strategies to Improve Student Engagement with Cris Tovani

Surprise, surprise, of course, we are talking about the new book.  In Episodes 232-233 Dominique took our discussion to the end of the book to the section on riding.  In this conversation we’re back at the beginning of the book.  Dominique has been thinking about what has been added to our understanding of clicker training since she first began to look at it 15 years ago.  The answer is a lot.

For Dominique three elements stood out in the beginning of the book.  The first was the addition of constructional training.  In this episode we talk about the  overall concept of constructional training and the enormous clarity that the constructional training language adds to our training choices.  

(We also begin by talking about print on demand and the incredible changes that are happening in the publishing world.  Everything is everything else so I am sure there’s a connection to horse training in there somewhere. Modern publishing for modern training - it all fits together.)

In this first episode of the “Teach the Whole Child” podcast, Steve introduces his teaching approach and describes how it began and how it developed. (10:47) He also shares four of his favorite ways in which teachers can build a strong personal connection with students. These strategies put smiles on children’s faces, offer positive, individual attention to everyone in the class, produce powerful bonding moments, and improve the overall classroom environment.

Podcast Episode #1: 4 Ways to Build a Personal Connection with Students

In this second episode of the “Teach the Whole Child” podcast, Steve describes the most powerful move elementary school teachers can make at the beginning of each year to establish a sense of purpose with students, develop teamwork, build lasting character traits, and set a high expectation level—writing a class mission statement with the kids and referring to it throughout the year for guidance. Steve explains, step-by-step, how to complete the process of creating this document and then shares how teachers can lead short discussions each week to ensure that the mission statement has maximum impact.

Podcast Episode #2:  The Most Important Activity We Can Do with Our Students

In his ebook The First Month of School, Steve discusses how important it is for elementary teachers to emphasize four priorities at the beginning of each school year. In this fourth episode of the “Teach the Whole Child” podcast, he narrows his focus to the first hour of school and describes how he begins to address two of these priorities during this critical time. Specifically, Steve shares what the first hour of each new school year looks like in his elementary classroom and explains what he and his students do and why they do it.

Podcast Episode #4: The First Hour of the New School Year

In this episode Steve explains why movement is such a powerful learning catalyst and describes how movement-based activities engage children on an emotional level, transform the classroom environment, improve student learning, and offer unparalleled novelty, interest, stimulation, excitement, and joy. Steve also introduces a specific type of active learning approach that he calls “concept-embedded” movement and shares five of his favorite concept-embedded activities that help children learn important language arts standards.
