Do you constantly have students ask you, "What are we supposed to do?" immediately after you give them an activity to complete? Do you have to go around to each group and communicate your expectations after they have started? Do they struggle to stay on task to complete the activity? In order to accomplish the learning objectives for any activity/assignment the directions are just as important as the activity. It is important students clearly understand your expectations for the assignment. This workshop will focus on teaching specific tips to improve your ability to give directions to students. You will learn key components of delivering effective directions, and then practice writing and communicating those directions to improve your classroom environment and student learning.
