There are many different schools of thought regarding classroom rules.

Giving your students opportunities to “teach” each other allows them to exercise many skills and build their abilities as leaders and persuasive speakers.

Educators know that parent/guardian communication is vital to a student’s success, as lessons being taught in class can consistently be reinforced in the home environment.

PBL is well-designed to show results. The self-directed lessons require lots of advance planning and preparation.

Carefully planned lessons are a rarity in the real world. Life is not a series of modules, units, or activities.

Musical elements like tempo, meter, rhythm, frequency, harmony, and tuning systems can be used to demonstrate math (and language/literature) concepts in real applications that students can hear and experience.

If you have never used music in the classroom, I would recommend that you gradually introduce music into the classroom to coincide with your instruction.

I have used a variety of techniques that scientists have shown make a real difference to the brain and student learning.
