Managing large classes can be a challenge but engaging small classes can be equally as difficult. If you are struggling with engaging your small class, you’re not alone! I’ve been there twice (teaching class periods with only 6 students!) and today, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about engaging small classes.
Trying to keep the excitement and energy up in a small class isn’t easy and finding ways to do activities without enough students is challenging.
So in this episode, I am sharing my four BEST tips for helping you engage your small classes. We are covering why you should lighten up when you’re teaching a small class, the power of discussion and how it helps build a culture that encourages questions, how to use unique rewards as a means of motivation, and what to do when you just don’t have enough bodies for labs.
Don’t forget to grab your Halloween-themed FREEBIE for biology, anatomy, chemistry, and physics!
