Teaching like a (Piedmont) pirate

Teach Like A Pirate is a bestseller written by teacher Dave Burgess that advocates increasing engagement throughcreative use of the teacher's personal strengths.How can you use your strengths to TEACH every lesson like a pirate?




Q: What is TLAP -“teaching like a pirate?”*A: TLAP is bravely using your personal interests and creativity to reach students where they live and connect them to the content and skills they need.*There is NOT one best way. It depends on your own gifts and on using them to their fullest to engage students in learning. It is not fair to throw info at students and expect them to care. It is our job to make them care.
The strategies you use as you bravely teach depend upon your own gifts and the needs and interests of your individual students. Take time to build that relationship.

The creative teaching strategies that I find work best for me are found throughout this wiki, including:


STEAM INFUSIONAny content can be fascinating when teachers use passion-based and student-centered strategies like:Scientific inquiry (Genius Hour)Tech Infusion (personalized authenticity)Engineering tinkering(Maker Movement; DIY)Arts integration (Mae Jemison)Math holistics (Dan Meyer)
