49. Curriculum Lab: First Day of School Casting Students as Leads in Their Educational Journey
Are you, like me, tired of first-day snooze-fests? This year, I'm shaking things up in my 10th grade English class, and I can't wait to share my plans with you. In this Curriculum Lab episode, I'm diving into some ideas I have to get our students engaged from minute one.
My goal? To make our students the stars of their own learning journey right from day one.
I'll walk you through my thought process, share some activities I'm excited to try, and talk about how I'm hoping to connect these first-day activities to our year-long curriculum.
From literary personality quizzes to "applying" for classroom roles, you'll learn how I'm flipping the script on traditional first-day activities. Whether you're a seasoned educator or new to teaching, this episode offers practical, adaptable ideas to make your first day unforgettable.
