What one characteristic seems to be prevalent among outstanding teachers? Intentionality. Doing things on purpose in their classrooms, during their planning, and interacting with the children. Are you an intentional teacher? Would you like to find out? What are intentional teaching practices? Are there guiding principles for teaching intentionally? What part does self-reflection have in teaching intentionally, if any?
After attending this learning event, participants will be able to define and describe the use of an intentional curriculum, restate questions an intentional teacher could use for self-reflection, list the main principles of intentional teaching, and create intentional teaching strategies to encourage initiative and curiosity, engagement and persistence, as well as reasoning and problem solving.
