This session is designed to train teachers in the technique of Joy Factor. Finding joy in the work of learning is a key driver not just of a happy classroom, but a high achieving one as well. Joy Factor can be energetic or low-key and may be used with individual students as well as groups both large and small.
Through analysis of master teachers’ techniques and practice, participants in the session will:
- Analyze 5 types of Joy Factor
- Design and practice the execution of a Joy Factor moment to use in the classroom immediately
- Analyze and avoid potential pitfalls of Joy Factor implementation
