Description

This interactive session features innovative methods to explain concepts and perform procedures customarily taught at the middle school level. Concrete manipulatives and graphic organizers used in hands-on, gross motor/kinesthetic activities provide students with the ability to perceive, process, and describe abstract material that may otherwise elude or overwhelm them. Learn to teach abstract concepts, sophisticated vocabulary, and complex procedures using concrete, structured interactive activities.
