Professional Development- Engaging Stations

Are you in need of an engaging professional development for your teachers? We expect our teachers to be engaging with their students but we rarely engage our teachers with their learning. Additionally, as teachers, we got away from using hands-on resources in the classroom when COVID-19 happened. Hands-on resources give students a tangible, experiential way for learners to engage with concepts, making abstract ideas more concrete and understandable. By physically manipulating objects or engaging in interactive activities, students can grasp complex concepts more easily and retain information better. Now it is time to refresh our memory on the hands-on resources we can use in the classroom or that we have buried somewhere. 

This Canva Presentation is a copy that you can edit and is centered around giving teachers engaging ideas to use for centers or rotations.  The professional development is editable and can be altered to fit your teachers’ needs.

Additionally, this presentation can also be downloaded as a PowerPoint or Google Slide. You will go to the share button in Canva and then the download button. After the download button, press the down arrow where the file type is and select the file you want to download it as. 

This PD is important because it gives teachers the following to think about:

• Varied Teaching Strategies: It introduces teachers to diverse teaching methodologies. Engaging stations often incorporate different activities, catering to various learning styles and preferences. This equips educators with a range of strategies to better engage and reach different types of learners in their classrooms.

• Active Learning Techniques: Stations promote active learning, encouraging students to interact, explore, and apply knowledge actively. Educators trained in these techniques can create dynamic, interactive learning environments that stimulate student involvement and participation.

• Differentiated Instruction: Stations can be tailored to accommodate different proficiency levels or learning paces within a classroom. Through professional development, teachers learn how to design and implement stations that cater to individual student needs, allowing for more personalized instruction.

• Increased Student Engagement: Engaging stations often lead to higher student interest and participation. By providing professional development in this area, teachers can learn strategies to create captivating, interactive lessons that capture students' attention and foster a love for learning.

• Encourages Collaboration: Stations often involve group work or collaboration among students. Training teachers in station-based learning encourages them to design activities that promote teamwork, communication, and cooperation among their students.

The topics and what is included:

• 15 Editable Canva Slides on Engaging Stations

• Real pictures of centers and students using the centers

Are you ready to energize your next professional development session? Transform the traditional PD into an interactive and unforgettable experience with a Survivor-themed twist! This unique approach engages teachers in challenges that mirror real-life classroom scenarios, promoting collaboration, teamwork, and strategic thinking around behavior management.

Behavior Management PD / Pedagogy
The session kicks off by organizing teachers into “tribes,” where they collaborate from the start by creating a tribe name. Once in their groups, they’ll be presented with behavior management scenarios—common classroom challenges that need immediate attention. Within their tribes, teachers will discuss and develop strategies to de-escalate or address these issues effectively. Each tribe will select a representative to share their group’s approach with the other teams.

Over the course of the PD, teachers will engage in four additional scenario discussions, each designed to encourage collaboration and learning from one another’s experiences. By the end of the challenges, tribes will vote for the individual in their group who contributed the most creative or effective strategies. Winners from each tribe will receive a prize, adding a fun and competitive element to the session.
The Survivor theme is enhanced throughout the PD with integrated background music that plays automatically via embedded YouTube links on the slides, adding to the immersive experience.

Customizable Focus
The content of the professional development can be tailored to fit the specific needs of your staff. Whether you want to focus on behavior management or incorporate subject-specific strategies for math, reading, or any other core skill, the PD can be adjusted to align with your goals.

Editable Presentation
This professional development presentation is fully editable in Canva, allowing you to adapt it to the unique needs of your school or district. The presentation can also be easily downloaded as a PowerPoint or Google Slides file. To download, simply click the "Share" button in Canva, then select "Download."

This lesson is based on my own personal experience as a participant on a USA-Mexico border tour project organized by Rethinking Schools & Global Exchange that provided first-hand experience and knowledge concerning the effects of U.S. foreign policy, such as NAFTA, on the lives of ordinary people who reside in the Tijuana area. Students will be prompted to delve far beyond the mainstream explanation that answers the critical question as to why people cross the U.S.-Mexico border. This lesson will have students examine the broader context, and underlying factors to this question, which intimately tie itself to Mexico's agricultural economy. Students will identify the causal puzzle pieces, and then create a ‘LOOP’ (web) diagram that will serve to demonstrate their understandings of how these underlying causes interconnect with one another.
