Learn At Lunch

SWAY Canada - Show-and-Tell

Teachers today face an impossible task. Classrooms are louder, attention spans are shorter, and expectations keep rising. More rules, more discipline plans, and more technology have not solved the problem. The truth is simple.

The best discipline tool a teacher has is a great lesson. When students are curious, challenged, and working together toward something meaningful, behaviour problems fade. SWAY Canada was created to help teachers find peace in the classroom.

Welcome to SWAY Canada. Welcome to my Virtual Classroom

I offer Learn-at-Lunch presentations for learning stakeholders. What's needed is one Division 2 teacher to lead and offer their class and invite an administrator, two parents, three students and any Division 2 {grades 4,5,6} for a forty-minute overview and simulation of the WAY Game and playway.ca. Learning is a team approach - we all have roles and responsibilities to fulfil. "

"Learn to play and play to learn."

Instead of competing for attention, students become teammates on a mission. The goal is simple: Better lessons. Stronger relationships. More joyful classrooms. If you are a student,teacher, parent, or administrator who believes learning should be engaging, creative, and meaningful, you are in the right place. The question remains - do you want to play?

Evergreen Support

I continue to make this site more user-friendly by clearly designing focus questions, steps, files, and training videos. Your Teacher or Parent Volunteer learns how to play and teaches you with the help of this virtual 'Textbook'.

This means - self-directed, you do it, and if you get stuck, ask your Study Buddy, AI, to help.

It all depends on your roles and responsibilities as to what you take from this site. There is something for everybody.
