Manage episode 518708928 series 1163275
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
