Description
Activators is an essential resource for middle and high school educators who are committed to harnessing the power of engagement in the service of student learning. Featuring concrete, hands-on activities that can be completed efficiently at the start of a unit, lesson, or topic, Activators help to increase engagement in learning, support a well-paced lesson, generate connections to prior knowledge, provide students with opportunities to practice skills and deepen understanding, and support formative assessment.
Although Activators have different formats, they all share two key components: individual think time and purposeful social interaction, which support students to develop quality responses to content and ideas while engaging with peers. Authors Nicole Frazier and Donna Mehle offer detailed facilitation tips for more than 20 Activators, providing a clear understanding of what they are and how they work in specific settings.
Content area examples for English-language arts, math, science, social studies, and world languages accompany each Activator. The ELA and math content examples are aligned to Common Core Content Standards for grades 6-12.
Nationally acclaimed differentiated instruction expert Carol Ann Tomlinson praises Activators, noting, “This book is a ‘keeper’ because it commends instructional strategies that engage the minds of adolescent learners as it attends to their need for interaction with and appreciation of peers.”
