Strategies For Teaching Reading In High School Music Classes, Megan Case

Andrews University Teaching and Learning Conference

When you think of subjects that benefit from literacy, music may not be the first one that comes to mind. While "reading" music usually refers to interpreting the notes and symbols on the page being able to read texts about music can give students context and background they wouldn't otherwise have. This enables them to connect to the music on a deeper and more meaningful level.

Exploring The Connection Between Literature And Physical Education, Andrew Potts

Andrews University Teaching and Learning Conference

In many school settings, physical education and literature are thought to not be connected in any way. However, it can be argued that there is indeed a connection between these two seemingly unrelated subjects. Making a concerted effort to include physical movement and learning within core classroom subjects, including literacy, can help students understand that different areas of learning can be introduced and intertwined in other subjects to create a more wholesome and well-rounded learning experience for them.

P.L.A.Y., Marco Vinicio Ruppel

Andrews University Teaching and Learning Conference

When it comes to learning in a classroom, teachers always expect students to just sit and listen. However, there are ways to be able to teach students while being active through play and other activities. When you have little kids in your classroom, sure you want them to sit and learn, but there are times when you need to have them move around and play. That is because since they are so little, their attention span is not that long.

What Teacher Needs To Know About Stem-Nonfiction, Simranjeet Kaur

Andrews University Teaching and Learning Conference

What educators need to know about STEM nonfiction is covered in this presentation.

Therefore, understanding the categories of STEM nonfiction can help educators with exploring science, technology, engineering, and maths.

Say It Louder: The Importance Of Reading Aloud In Your Pre-K Classroom., Kaleb Reiner

Andrews University Teaching and Learning Conference

When you think about the key features of growing up, one of the prominent memories is being read bedtime stories by your parents. Why is that so memorable? Because read aloud stories are an imperative part of early education and literacy.

Secular/Non-Religious Education Vs. Christian/Religious Education, Bianka Rinko

Andrews University Teaching and Learning Conference

This poster briefly presents the contradiction between secular/non-religious education and christian/religious education. It shows the reasoning behind secular education leaving out religion in school and also the reasoning behind Christian education including religion in school.

Furthermore, the poster proves that Christian education shapes the students' moral decisions and later family/relational choices in a much better way than secular education. This research taught me that, as Christian Adventist educators, we have the privilege and the responsibility to share with students such significant principles from the Bible which can give a good direction to their lives.
