In this episode we dive into one of the biggest challenges teachers face—getting students to actually care about what they’re learning. Great lesson planning isn’t just about standards and objectives—it’s about connection, relevance, and engagement.

Join us as we explore how intentional planning can transform your lessons from “just another class” into experiences that matter to your students.

Quotables

  • “Personal growth over grades. ”
  • "That classroom environment has to be a place where they want to take risks."
  • "When students feel known, they feel respected, and their more likely to find meaning in what their working on. "
