ALL SUCCESSFUL LESSONS HAVE A FEW THINGS IN COMMON.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been guilty more than once of making myself the star of the show - meaning - as a teacher - I often made the lessons more about me.  

Me — standing in front of the classroom with my anchor charts, doing all the talking, inviting minimal participation.  When I did invite participation, I was sure to call on those students that I know would have the answers.

Guilty, as charged. 

But - I’ve noticed, and I’m sure YOU’VE noticed that the days of standing in front of the classroom while students just listen and absorb just don’t work.  

And to be honest - it likely never worked, we just didn’t know any better.  It may have worked for some students - the ones that can learn in basically any environment — but for the students that needed to be more engaged, more interactive - not so much.

So, today, I want to explore 6 components or elements of a successful lesson.
