Session 1: Engage Life! Teachers Engaging Students

Participants will examine their current commitment and understand the importance between teacher engagement and improved achievement, test scores and college preparedness.  They will experience and understand how adding value to students is directly tied to connecting student subgroups and improving graduation rates.  Finally, your staff will know the importance between just being present and being passionate about what they do.

Session 3: Teaching the Millenials

They are called Millennials. Raised by parents who believe in the importance of self esteem, they believe they are ready to take on any task and conquer the world. They expect a learning environment that is challenging, fun, collaborative and rewarding. So how do we teach a generation of students who have been constantly told by society they are special, protected from every conceivable danger and who believe they can do all things better than they are currently being done? Tutt and Daggs will teach you how to understand, relate and teach this generation to accomplish incredible outcomes.
