Presenter:
Joanne Manning Learning enhancement is an essential course for any teacher seeking exciting and innovative projects to incorporate in the classroom for the development of critical thinking. As educators of students with well-developed higher order cognitive ability, we have a responsibility to seek interesting and engaging projects to capture the intellect and creativity of these students and enhance their learning. As well, we have a responsibility to provide opportunities for all our students who may prove to be engaged when asked to step up and meet a challenge. In this course we will consider the differentiation models of Bloom, Kaplan, Maker and Williams as a way of introducing six engaging projects that will really capture a sense of purpose, wonder and enthusiasm in your students.
