Crack the Code: Captivate with Concept Attainment
Monday August 5, 2024 9:35am - 10:20am EDT
307
Do you struggle finding ways to spark students’ interest and keep them engaged throughout the lesson? If so, this session is for you. Concept Attainment is an activating, instructional strategy that engages all students by using their prior knowledge as a gateway to learning content-specific concepts. This session models how to utilize and implement this strategy within any curriculum. Throughout the session, participants will have several opportunities to learn both individually and collaboratively while also utilizing bits of technology and various formative assessments. Participants will leave with an example presentation to use with students, a collectively-brainstormed list of concepts that could be used within their curriculum, and a clear understanding of how to quickly and seamlessly implement the strategy.

Share ideas for SAVE Club programs such as Start with Hello and Say Something to share with club members when the school year begins.

Resources: I will share planning guides from Sandy Hook Promise to help assist advisors as well as ways to communicate with the SAVE Team at SHP if they need further assistance or help. Advisors will also leave with a copy of a club bill o f rights, rules, policies, and specifics about the role of club leadership roles.

Engagement: I will provide a brief slideshow detailing general information about SAVE and Sandy Hook Promise and show a few things our club has achieved over the last few years.
I plan to bring a few members of our club leadership team (student members) who can share about their club experiences from a student's perspective. I will include an activity that we do in sessions with SHP that allows advisors to share what their clubs have done so others can get ideas and for advisors to ask questions.
