Accessible Teaching Tips For K-12 Educators: Modern Teaching Strategies

by PRC Agency PR

If you're an educator, you are well aware of the challenges presented by the prospect of trying to convey any sort of information in a meaningful way. Students, simply put, would usually rather be doing any number of other things than be in the classroom, and even when you deploy the full extent of your passion for the job, sometimes you still come up short.

When you do manage to get through to them, it can often feel like they are just in it for the grade - which is likely true, and who could blame them? If that sounds familiar though, I'm sure you have found yourself wishing there were a better way, despite the constraints and expectations placed on you by the school board, parents, community, and the students themselves.

For this problem, though, Times 10 Publications is here to offer a solution. While it may not solve every issue you encounter as a professional educator, their latest title, penned by Elizabeth Jorgensen, is certain to inspire you to rethink the way you teach, and the way your students learn.

This title, which is the most recent addition to the “Hack Learning” series by Times 10, develops a pedagogical framework over the course of 9 sections. Throughout these sections, you will come to understand the needs of your students as they pertain to the established curriculum and how that curriculum can be manipulated to produce better outcomes.

Primarily, the book focuses on reward structures and incentivization, which Jorgensen presents as one of the primary driving factors behind student wellbeing and retention. In her view, the current punitive pass/fail grading system discourages things like parallel thinking and other productive, creative forms of engagement with the material.

To solve this problem, she proposes her 9 strategies as a way to restructure the goals of student education, placing the focus on exploration and curiosity rather than examination and memorization. These forms of engagement, she suggests in the book, are essential to ensuring that your students truly retain the material being taught.

One reviewer had this to say, “This book is a quick read that offers practical ideas on how to work with students to build environments that take the spotlight off outcomes like grades and standardized test scores. Can we help students focus more on the 1000s of choices they are making every day instead of their g.p.a? Yes we can.”

Overall, Jorgensen presents advice that is applicable to teachers at all grade levels and subject areas, making this one of the most universal teaching guides published by Times 10 Publications to date.

If you are having trouble getting through to your students, this guide is an ideal spark to ignite your creative fires so that you can build more inventive, varied, and engaging lesson plans. The book is available in paperback and as a digital download, so be sure to pick up a copy today!
