Before we can teach students to read, how can we get them to see it as worth the investment? • Step one: engagement • How do we specifically engage those who are not currently engaged in school?
Building Relationships • In what ways did you build relationships with students this fall? • Simplest question of all: How are you? No, really. How are you doing?
What are other ways to engage students? • Create an environment where all students can succeed (activities and materials that they can comprehend). • Establish student agency in their study (offering choice when possible). • Use their expertise when possible.
