Workshop Information and handouts from

"The Totally Awesome Teacher Trainer"

presented by Terry McLaughlin

As promised, my friends, here is a copy of the Awesome Teacher Trainer. You'll need to get the physical props:

• wooden blocks for Maslow's Hierarchy and Questioning,
• wooden cubes for dice,
• baskets for "quick draw" games and treats within each land,
• the tossing pig and
• 9 gatorade containers for assessment.

As you print these out, look at them carefully. I included instructions IN the topics where I thought it would be useful. Each land is in a separate folder. Mostly you just print them out, cut them out and paste onto colorful construction paper. The handout originals are included.

Handouts: (Included as web pages (html), pdf files, and Word documents, because the pdf files will be better for printing, but if you can download the Word documents, you can manipulate them)
