"Bridging the gap between student motivation and their retention of teachers' lessons."
Welcome to
Scrapbooks That TeachTM
The website devoted to assisting students to make more meaning of the curriculum activities they engage in in the classroom. When students see themselves
interacting with their world in a positive manner, they are more likely to retain that
experience. Scrapbooks that Teachtm is committed to providing a research-based
educational program using creative visuals with meaningful activities that is based on an instructional model of best practices in teaching. Called Academic Scrapbooking, it is a copyright process for students, pre-K-12, to respond in a positive manner to their teachers' lessons by personalizing and capturing their success through the photos taken. To capture their remembering, they make scrapbook-like pages known as scraPPages tm . For the classroom, scraPPagestm are gradable and I use a rubric.
My use of academic scrapbooking in the classroom has resulted in enthusiastic students who remember what is being taught!
I have used this approach since 1997. Your students will have similar results in this motivation-to-retention approach. For home, we think that children will be better off exercising their brain muscle without knowing it and we have created the Home Play Workshop using the same research-based principles.
Please note that I follow all internet children's laws for the protection and confidence of your family and students.
