Hundreds of Central education students and teachers from across the state came to hear Drs. Harry and Rosemary Wong speak Feb. 15 in Douwstra Auditorium. Their three-hour workshop, titled “How to Create Effective Schools and Teachers,” was made possible through the Geisler Penquite Education Excellence Fund.
The Wongs, classroom management and student achievement experts, are a highly sought-after speaking duo, having delivered more than 3,500 presentations on education across the globe. “The First Days of School,” their book on effective teaching, is the highest-selling book
ever in education, with more than 3.6 million copies sold worldwide.
“We are here for one reason only,” Harry said to the audience of pre-service and in-service teachers. “We want our kids to learn.”
The Wongs emphasized classroom management, lesson mastery and positive expectations for students. Learn more about their teacher-tested techniques.
