Menu “In these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education. Such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right that must be made available to all on equal terms” (Brown v. Board of Education, 1954, p. 493).

MULTIMODAL LITERACY NCTE refers to a “multimodal literacy” that encompasses the interplay of many “meaning- making systems (alphabetic, oral, visual, etc.) that teachers and students should strive to study and produce”., and states that, “All modes of communication are codependent. Each affects the nature of the content of the other and the overall rhetorical impact of the communication event itself (NCTE, 2010).” s

Menu But while virtual education is likely to become a large part of the future of school choice, increased customization in education doesn't have to happen only online. There are endless possibilities to reorganize the delivery of education and to offer both students and teachers more choice and customization within the public schools.

Menu COMMUNICATION Am I communicating enough “ excitement ” about algebra ? 2a + 6b = Early studies found that we communicate in proportions: 55% visually, through body language. 38% tone of our voice. 7% through the actual spoken words. Research suggests that non- verbal behavior accounts for more than 90 percent of our communication.

Menu Secrets borrowed from IMPROVISATIONAL COMEDY

Menu There is an old saying that a teacher is an actor and the classroom is the stage... Actors Move! Change the Stage Picture “The idea behind this concept is discovery. Quite often, just by allowing yourself to move to a different part of the stage, you will discover something new. You are opening yourself up to a different “beat” in a scene. This is effective when information seems to have “dried up” and you need to change the energy of what has already been established so things never get stale in an improv. For example, if two people are standing there talking about breaking up and one person starts walking across the stage, everyone will be interested to see what will happen next because that character crossed for a reason. Perhaps that character will walk across the room to pack his bags or to open a drawer and pull out an engagement ring.”

Menu Hmmm… Am I using the stage? In co-teaching, for example, this is especially important : Is one person ALWAYS standing in the front of the room while the other is in back or off to the side? Do we both have visible roles?

Menu YES, AND….. Which are you?

Menu Do we have something for each type of learner in EVERY classroom?
