Description

With everything going on in your school and classroom on any given day, it can sometimes be difficult to remember that the reason you are there is because of learning. In this brief lesson from our Essentials series, Joyce Juntune, Ph.D., shares four strategies for showing your students that what you value most is not grades or test scores, but learning.
  • Strategy one suggests questions you can ask your students to help keep them focused on learning.
  • Strategy two provides ideas for school-wide announcements that will reinforce the questions you’re asking in the classroom.
  • Strategy three invites you to ask yourself reflective questions to help make sure you’re sending your students the message that what you value most is their learning.
  • Strategy four helps you ensure that your focus on learning extends to every student in your classroom.

Dr. Juntune’s four strategies are powerful in their simplicity and can be easily implemented in any classroom.
