Let’s be honest — keeping students engaged during the final weeks of school is tough. In this episode, I’m continuing our conversation about re-engaging students by sharing practical, low-stress ways to bring more student choice into your classroom.

We’ll talk about how to give students a voice without creating chaos, why even small shifts in how we structure tasks can lead to more buy-in, and how letting students make some of the decisions actually leads to more focus — not less. Bonus? It can lighten your load, too.

Whether you're working within a tight curriculum or just feeling the burnout, these easy-to-implement strategies can help you wrap up the year strong — with students still learning, still participating, and maybe even enjoying it along the way.
