communication in schools that results in learning and human development;

exist for individuals• – Self-concept theory

Part B – Planning ‘Inviting’ Lessons
Richard BenjaminMay 2012
Page 18
An ‘Inviting’ Lesson or Unit• Engaging
– Often uses the ‘engaging’ power of the arts
• Accelerates or Deepens Learning
• Insures Remembering
• Encourages Application
• Invites or Pulls students into the lesson
• Invites students to come to experience learning as a fun activity…..Learn to Love Learning
• Forges connections to student background knowledge and interests
• Invites students to realize their highest human potential– Academic, Social, Spiritual,
Psychological, & Physical
Page 19
Guiding Concepts & Essential Questions
• ‘Universal’ Concepts:
• BALANCE
• PATTERNS– Pinocchio – Before, during,
after…..beginning, middle, end…..
– What do engaging, effective lessons seem to have in common?
• RELATIONSHIPS
• Essential Questions
• ‘How might we make our lessons more immediately ‘inviting’
• And, also make them to more authentically invite students to realize their highest human potential?
