Engaging Learners Through Productive Struggle | Teaching Channel

When the brain is challenged, insightful learning happens! Our students need us to create more opportunities for them to grapple with new ideas and content. Transform your classroom to a place where mistakes are celebrated, grit is valued, and all students can learn through clear and rigorous expectations. Set learning intentions with specific criteria for success, develop constructive feedback, examine implicit bias, and evaluate ways to improve your teaching processes to honor a “not yet” mindset. Keep joy and creativity alive in designing activities to reach every student, and collaborate with colleagues to develop new ideas. Your work will ensure your classroom is a place to feel supported and encouraged to engage in “cognitive wobbling.” This course will foster a deeper and more gratifying way of learning, through productive struggle.
