Create Captivating Classes: Why NCLB Should Mean No Child Left Bored is written to help teachers understand elements and techniques of entertainment and add them to their classrooms and lesson plans to increase student attention, engagement, and retention. It contains a step-by-step guide to the process used by entertainers to design presentations that will capture and hold the attention of an audience. Each step is examined in detail and applied to the classroom to help teachers to design lessons that will captivate their students’ attention and engage them in the learning process.
This is not “just another book” on making lessons more effective by making them more entertaining. To the author’s knowledge, it is the first book of its kind to be written by a teacher who has real world experience as an entertainer outside the classroom.
The methods explained in the book will work with students of any age and from any socio-economic class. They work - not because of who the students are, but because of what they are - human.
Of course, different groups are drawn to different types of entertainment, so Create Captivating Classes provides teachers with the tools they need to customize the universal techniques of entertainment to their specific situation.
The book is available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book formats from R & L Education.
