Tuned In: Helping Students Connect, Care, and Contribute

This episode focuses on strategies to promote active student engagement. Candace and Heather dive into the challenges of working with students who are resistant to academics and highlight the importance of understanding each learner’s motivators, strengths, and barriers. They discuss practical strategies such as adjusting content levels, breaking tasks into manageable steps, incorporating movement or creativity, and offering meaningful rewards.

The conversation emphasizes the need for teachers to remain flexible, pivot when strategies aren’t working, and provide frequent opportunities for students to respond. Ultimately, the hosts underscore that true engagement stems from educators being actively engaged with their students—meeting them where they are, sustaining motivation, and nurturing learning as an ongoing, dynamic process.
