Effective Lesson

"What does an effective lesson look like in your classroom"?

My classroom is not a quite classroom but in my opinion this is a good thing! The chatter you will notice is just a reflection of my students showing engagement and the ability to learn from each other. Throughout each lesson I do my best to incorporate Art, Music, and/or Movement. This is a great way for my students to work to together and make the material purposeful and meaningful. Incorporating these aspects also allows for the create lessons to appeal to the learning styles of all my students and appeal to the multiple intelligences presented in my students. With each lesson we discuss what it is the students are to learn (target) and how that target will assist us in our learning. After the lesson the students are also encouraged to not only discuss the lesson but to give me feedback as to what they felt worked best for themselves and the class as a whole. They share what they thought we did well and what we need to work on. When my student engage with each other through Art, Music, and Movement, I believe they are making the most of the lesson. :)
