The goal? To inspire teachers to make lessons more engaging and effective for their students. Activities and ideas that any teacher can implement to spark creativity and create engagement within those first few lessons. How do you sell this idea to parents? Tim walks you through it all – from activities students can do at home to strategies that use the imagination. Tim understands the hesitancy some teachers might feel about putting the book down and connecting with students on a more personal level.
