    About this ebook

    When teachers graduate from college, they are filled with theories and are overloaded with standards and expectations.

    No one ever really focuses on a teachers most important job, which is to make learning fun. If you cant make learning enjoyable, students will not make education a priority.

    Jennifer Gilbert, PhD, a lifelong educator, firmly believes that if teachers bring the fun, the students will bring the learning, leading to what she calls the great exchange.

    She shares the four building blocks to creating an interactive classroom environment, which are movement, manipulatives, motivation, and memoryand she walks you through what they are and how to incorporate each into your lessons.

    Youll also get tips on classroom management, which involves knowing your students, moving from being a teacher to a facilitator, and being organized.

    Filled with insights, sample activities, and additional resources, this guide will not only help you inspire students to learn and achieve moreit will leave you loving what you do.

      Helping Students Become Independent Learners

      Mar 8, 2024

      Contrary to popular belief, the primary job of a teacher is not to teach but rather to facilitate learning. We could argue that the more a teacher teaches, the less the student learns, or at least, the less capable the student will be of learning. Wh
