Teacher Summer Road Trip Theme: Engaging Students

Staring into a sea of glazed-over eyes is soul crushing for any teacher.  All teachers aim for a classroom of engaged and excited learners - but getting there can be quite a feat.  The key is to vary the WAYS that you try to engage your students.  Doing one engagement strategy might work for a while, but it will eventually fall flat when the initial excitement dies down.  That’s why in this week’s episode I’m sharing multiple ways that you can keep your students excited, engaged, and interacting with each other in all parts of your school day.I’ve curated clips from past episodes all about:engaging ways to start a lesson5-minute fillers that aren’t a waste of timefool-proof ways in boost student engagementways to ditch the boring textbook and replace them with more engaging alternatives.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Join the Teacher Summer Road Trip for all the freebies and a chance to win weekly giveaway prizes!Show What You Know!
