9: The information transfer

At this step, the student should have an in-depth understanding of the topic and can apply it in their own lives. They should feel confident with their knowledge and understanding and feel encouraged to use the information for their own use.

8: Assess their product

Once you've given your students constructive feedback, you can assess their project. This can be from grading their projects or reading their self-reflection. This is when you can touch base with the student and explain what area or module they still need to fully grasp.

7: Feedback

After the final product, test, or any other form of practice implemented is complete, you can provide students with feedback on their assignments. This feedback is done constructively. The goal is not to demolish students' understanding but encourage them to search for additional information.

6: Put it into practice

Once the lesson is completed, you can have students practice their knowledge. This can be done with a finale presentation, test, groups work or a formal reflection.

At this step, educators can survey the students and walk around to see if they need any more clarification.

5: Show the way!

Presenting students with the education language can be a great starting point for students. A tool like a rubric and Info graph can guide students on the right path. Giving students a starting point ensures they feel safe and confident when it comes to their final project.

4: Present the content

Using a variety of digital tools or presentation styles to present the lesson engages students in the content. Tools such as Canvas, PowerPoint and simple book readings can go a long way in engaging students in class and making it accessible for students.

The content can be presented in one day or broken up I'm multiple periods of time if the information is a heavy topic. As educators, we need to also read our students and understand when they have had enough or when the lesson has gone long enough. Once a student has lost interest, it is very difficult to regain their engagement.

3: Throw back!!

Scaffolding, scaffolding, SCAFFOLDING! This is a massive part of the 9 events. Having students recall information they have already learned related to the new topic allows them to connect with the information they already know, making the new topic easier to comprehend.

At this step, reviews of past material can be beneficial to students. This can be done with a simple group discussion of the topic. "Who remembers this?" "Does anyone know what this is?"

2: Let them know about the lesson.

Letting the student know about the lesson before it starts allows them to get their "lesson" brain in action, and nothing surprises them. In addition, for the older students, if you let them know they need to take notes in class, it gives them a second to grab the tools they need to provide their entire focus to the teacher.

Furthermore, at this step is when we can explain the objective of the lesson and the desired outcome.

1: Gain Attention

Getting the student's attention is vital to start the events. This can be done by creating an icebreaker activity, playing some music or a say-and-repeat phrase.

Let's begin!

Here is my breakdown and final thought with Gagné 9 introduction events. The practice has been proven effective and efficient in the classroom and workspaces; the nine events allow the presenter to welcome the audience and present the topic. Follow along as I break down the 9 events in their post!

Is it worth it?

Robert Gagné 9 event module has been used for decades as a guideline for educators and professionals to introduce a new topic to students and colleagues. I think taking the time to utilize the guideline would be beneficial to educators
