Why do you think teachers like teaching the Gaming Concepts curriculum?

 

Engaging students in the classroom is difficult post-pandemic. We've had to implement policies and procedures to pull students away from their phones, and we continually search for ways to connect them emotionally and intellectually to the idea of life after high school. We want to see our students succeed and find the passion that will lead them to college or a career that they find meaningful and rewarding. I hear it all the time, "I've tried everything, they just won't engage."

 

My answer is always: have you considered implementing Gaming Concepts as part of your curriculum? Because Gaming Concepts covers topics students are interested in, like streaming, video games, and shout casting (talking about the games they are watching on-screen), it's easy to hold their attention and provides a "hook" for learning.

 

Teachers can embed Gaming Concepts curriculum into many mainstream classes and use it as a linked learning tool through English, Speech, Marketing, Video, and Multimedia courses. It can also be its own stand-alone class. The coursework is aligned to all state and national standards and encompasses, health and wellness, social/emotional and mental health exercises, as well as provides the most interesting and engaging content that is relevant to the lives of our post-pandemic students.

 

Teachers/coaches in our district find that when using Gaming Concepts, students are learning the college and career-ready skills they need to flourish in our 21st-century society and are eager to learn because the content is genuinely relevant to them and the careers that interest them.
