Engage ALL your students in class activities! Create catalysts for deep discussion and meaningful movement
About this Event

Ever give up on group work because it just falls apart and leads to conflict?

We know students learn best when they talk and actively work with their classmates, but it can be challenging to help all students meaningfully participate in class discussions and group work.

Join us to explore easy-to-use catalysts—activities to help all your students engage and participate and contribute. We'll look at (and try out!) "ingredients" that can be added to any lesson to increase whole-class participation, effective student interaction, and ultimately student engagement and learning.

In this interactive workshop you will:

  • Explore how to invite total participation in class discussions
  • Discover purposeful structured class talk protocols
  • Examine the role of movement in learning
  • Receive step-by-step directions and visual supports to help you implement techniques in your classroom
  • Engage in a variety of total participation techniques yourself

Participants receive:

  • A certificate of completion for 5 contact hours of PD
  • Active & Interactive Learning Quick Reference Guide
  • Materials to turn-key core learnings to colleagues
  • A surprise freebie to help your students (or you!) to learn, get organized, and self-regulate


The workshops provide teachers with a strengths-based lens and practical take-home strategies to make their classrooms inclusive and accessible to all students.

Workshops are limited to 20 participants to ensure participants have the materials, attention, and opportunities to interact that allow them to make this a valuable learning experience.

The location in downtown Brooklyn is accessible by many trains: 2 /3 / A / C / F / R / B / Q. Parking is also available.
