In that time I have learned a few things that really work to engage kids’ interest. That’s what I write about here. My mentor teacher told me in 1998 that “Nothing captivates learners like a dynamite lesson plan.” I was trying too hard to control behavior when the secret all along was in delivering an engaging lesson. When I started this blog, I knew that was the best direction for it and that’s why it was so-named.
