In this episode, Jim kicks off with a keynote message entitled "Everybody's Smart: What is your gift?" We then explore the research behind the use of emotion in the classroom, its effects on students, and how to use emotion as an engagement strategy. We then jump into best practices in engagement where Jim provides several strategies to prevent anyone from "sitting on the bench". Finally, we end the PD Sprint with our series in leadership skills development with the Lifeline of cooperation and practical ways to incorporate this skill into your classroom.
