And you can use this in ANY subject area, remix it in so many fun ways, and it takes literally no time to implement.

What Would Students Say to Teachers If They Knew We Were Really Listening? (Best Episode Replay)
When was the last time you asked students questions like…
What do you really want teachers to know about you?
What would you say to your teachers if you knew they would listen without judgement?
What can I do in this classroom this year to help decrease your frustration and increase your engagement.
Yes, kids want things like snacks, snapchat, and to sleep in class.
But kids actually want WAY different things then that too and their results to these questions are surprisingly reasonable.
In this week’s episode of the This Teacher Life podcast I give you all the details of a transparent conversation I had with my students that totally worked.
It is easy to replicate and once you have the roadmap, I promise it will create positive momentum for the rest of the school year.
