About this Event
Affective Teaching in Action led by Chase Mielke
(This Institute Day session is scheduled for Ottawa Township High School.)
Award-winning educator, speaker, and writer Chase Mielke provides a master class on facilitating productive emotions in any class and any context. Combining peer-reviewed research and teacher-tested strategies, Mielke shares strategies he has honed over a decade and a half as a teacher, instructional coach, and nationally recognized speaker - including the strategies that have helped him consistently reduce failure rates for struggling students by over 50%.
With Affective Teaching you will be able to:
● Apply the Affective Teaching Model, a simple, intuitive model for infusing more positive emotions into any lesson or learning sequence;
● Understand key research on how nine positive emotions contribute to greater motivation, increased attentiveness, and more collaborative and psychologically safe learning communities;
● Integrate simple moves into your teaching toolbox that require little effort, yet yield huge impact on student learning;
● Create classroom experiences that not only energize and engage students, but make teaching more joyful and inspiring. Attentive and curious. Inspired and motivated. Confident and collaborative. These are the feelings we want every learner to have.
Let Affective Teaching enhance your skills to empower your students to thrive – in class and beyond.
