Classroom Leaders
What is it really like to be a student in your classroom? This session invites you to put on the student hat and view your classroom through the learner's eyes. You will explore practical ways to evaluate classroom experiences, assignments and technology workflows from the student perspective, uncovering the hidden barriers that can get in the way of engagement and learning. Along the way, you will learn strategies for identifying those friction points, improving engagement and connection, and designing more learner-centered experiences. Whether you teach in a one-to-one environment or use technology occasionally, this fresh perspective can reveal quick wins you may have overlooked. You will leave with ready-to-use strategies you can implement immediately to make a real impact on student engagement, connection and learning.
