Description
Each of your students has interests as unique as their fingerprints. Getting to know your students and their interests is not only a great way to connect with them, but it’s also an opportunity to tailor your curriculum to incorporate the things they are naturally excited and passionate about. Even the most reluctant student will pay more attention when you present your lessons in a way that builds on what they already know and love. Educator Joyce Juntune, Ph.D., says that tying students interests into your lessons helps your students see real-world applications of what they are learning and helps them stay more engaged in your content.
In this one-hour course, you’ll dive deep into the world of curriculum and learn about:
- The best ways to discover student interests
- How to practically organize and remember your students’ interests
- Tips for incorporating student interests into your curriculum
