From time to time, especially at the end of the school year, it can be difficult to maintain a level of enthusiasm in your classroom. It’s tough to keep the kids engaged and excited about learning.
With that in mind, today on TeachHUB.com, the folks at Chalkup wrote a centerpiece article on how to nurture relationships with students. It’s a good read that will certainly turn on a few lightbulbs.
The article is summed up thusly: “As we approach the new year, we should focus on relationships, shaking things up, and providing students with a voice and choice in their learning. With attention waning, maybe now is exactly when you should be mixing things up in your classroom routine, trying on new collaborative tools for size, and inviting students to be part of that design.”
