In order to engage my younger students in my lessons, I have to appeal to their wants and interests. Because they are so young, their interests are focused on movement and game-based learning. In order for them to be engaged, they have to be moving around and enjoying themselves. However, I am looking to step up my teaching to improve their understanding of the content with which they are learning. My students deserve to learn in ways that incorporate their interests. My students deserve to enjoy their educational careers; I want them to WANT to be at school just as much as I want to teach them! The Get Your Teach On (GYTO) is a renowned organization that teaches rigor and engagement, and the individuals teaching at the conference are some of the best educators in the world. By attending this conference, I will be able to incorporate teaching techniques that fit my student's personalities, as well as engage them in my lessons. The Get Your Teach On Conference will allow me to be the best possible educator I can be for my students!
