Thinking Outside the Box to Keep Students Learning

Meet up with Anna Lisa Seaborn. She teaches science and social scientific tests to students at Gatesville Elementary in Gates County.  Her energetic, arms on solution to training is a thing she has made use of to link with the learners. 

When asked to determine her educating design and style, she defined it as “Outside the Box.” Energetic, still structured to hold the students engaged. 

“I can be all about the position. I can be carrying out dances in the classroom, going up and down displaying how a flower grows or we can acquire a dance break, and everyone just commences shaking. “

When we visited her classroom, the students had been discovering about climate – working with marshmallows, cotton balls, development paper and glue to make four various sorts of clouds. The learners confident appeared to appreciate accomplishing the hands on action!

Ironically, when I asked if she was a very good trainer – Seaborne claimed with a chuckle, “In fact, no! I was that pupil in the back again who was saying remember to really do not connect with on me. But now to be listed here at this stage in my existence, I adore it to death”

Her colleague, 2^nd grade English teacher Crystal Lee says that Seaborne “likes all people to be loved ones. When she first came, she was like we need to do cookouts, so we had a pair of distinct cookouts for a several various items so we’re not just listed here for work.” Seaborne is a part of the Gatesville Elementary Constructive Conduct Interventions and Supports (PBIS) group who work to identify college students for excellent actions. Rather of focusing on the students bad behavior, the PBIS team functions to figure out their superior behavior and award them with pursuits or awards- to really encourage fantastic actions. 

Exterior of class, you can obtain Seaborne assisting where ever the want is. She has been regarded to trip the bus when they want extra displays, tutor just after college, or just show up at some of her student’s sports activities online games and functions.
