The Meaningful Engaged Learning Model

Welcome to the Arctic-Ski game show! Teachers today have an extremely important job at hand; they have to motivate students to learn, discipline when needed, and create lessons that comply with the varying learning levels of their students. Teacher’s how do we motivate our students? Well, here's a game show that brings teaching to a whole new level by using the meaningful engaged learning model (MEL).The MEL model is designed for teachers who are looking for ways to engage all their students in the learning process. MEL is composed of 4 categories: environment, experience, motivation, and meaning; that are then further divided into 9 sub categories: student/teacher relationship, helping students succeed, hands-on, learning styles, interest, autonomy, avoiding rewards, connections, and context. In the game show, pauses will be made to stop and explain each of the 9 sub categories. For example, autonomy in the MEL model focues on decision making. In the game show the students are allow to make thier own decision on which category they want to answer. This is just one way we demonstrated the MEL model. Teachers pay close attention to the examples; they will help you create new ways to motivate your students to learn no matter what their learn level is. Sit back, relax, and let the learning process begin.
