Ron Nash has had the pleasure of observing and coaching in hundreds of K-12 classrooms over the course of his career. The difference between a successful and dynamic lesson often lies in the little things related to process that help things run smoothly and keep kids engaged. The basis for this session is Ron’s book, Big Little Things: 40 Tools for Building a Better Classroom. We’ll explore the importance of effective visuals, teacher voice, listening and speaking skills, the use of music, priming, and many other “big little things” that make classrooms work. This session will be loaded with examples from K-12 classrooms around the country. Grab a notebook and a writing instrument and get ready to rock; Ron doesn’t believe in ’sit and git’ breakouts.
