Geometry Design your own cookie packaging. Part of the interdisciplinary unit, or great as a stand alone assessment. Cookie package allows students to explore their creativity and manufacturing skills. They can make a design a box, make it and collaborate and bond in the process. Excellent for project based learning, excellent for real world numeracy. The assessment task below suited to these subjects: Technology , Food Technology and Entrepreneurship. It covers design of the students own package on using software. Or if your school does not have access then sketching out a package using geometric shapes. Students then come up with a modified cookie recipe (research a basic one to modify). Then market and promote it like the Kidpreneur Mr Cory above. I have run this with 4 classes, they love it and have come up with such different cookie projects every time. It brings together all of your class, teaches them Maths, Literacy and how to talk about their ideas so there is some leadership in there too. I really look forward to you using this and letting me know how you go. Nothing makes me more happy than colourful cookies.

An interdisciplinary unit to make a cookie.

A great cross curricular, wholistic authentic project based learning unit outline for the semester. It covers literacy and numeracy as well.

A set of 5 modules helping students with their emotional wellbeing and resilience skills. 1.Students are asked to assess their life in terms of what is happening. 2. Reflect on their behaviour in response to certain stimulus 3. Role play better behaviour to achieve an outcome more in line with their personal values and that brings them closer to their personal goals. We have had immense success with a boy on the Autism spectrum and will continue to refine the program with our other students. Activities have been formulated according to emotional intelligence practices and Neuro linguistic Programming for behavioural change.

Motivate Students through habits This presentation covers: Every classroom has triggers and cues that inform behaviour. This behaviour over time becomes a habit. Motivated students are in control. They act for rewards. Positive habit formation relies on forming group norms, appropriate cues and rewards. This presentation gives tips and tricks on how to change the unconsciou cues and rewards in your class to shift the habits of your class. Which in turn will help them to self motivate. This presentation was informed by the work of th habit formation master Charles Duhigg and the scientific studies he has conducted for his book The power of habit and William Glassers Choice theory.
