Teaching Jr Highers

I saw this post over on Kurt Johnston’s blog. He’s got a lot of great stuff on his blog. Click here to check it out.
Teaching 101….part one.
Here is a short list of what I believe to be fundamental when teaching/speaking to junior highers:
- The first minute is the most important minute
- It doesn’t need to be long to be good
- If it’s going to be long it needs to be good
- Junior Highers like to laugh
- Junior Highers like stories
- Be authentic
- Be relevant to THEIR world
- When possible, include active learning ingredients. Students learn more when they experience it.
- Offer specific application steps
- The last minute is also the most important minute
