80. How do we address homework and give kids agency in their own learning?
After a debrief about dog ownership and the joys of raising a puppy, we dive into a discussion about how to handle a situation involving kids, a horror movie, and being outside in the dark. It's a perfect example of why we're the reigning champs of parenting.
From there, we have the opportunity to speak with a very special guest, Donna Fields, Ph.D., about homework, teaching, and how to help give your kids agency in learning, a game-changing approach that puts students in the driver's seat of their educational journey. Donna brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, shedding light on how we can empower students to take charge of their learning. Imagine a world where students are engaged, motivated, and actively shaping their educational path!
It was an absolute pleasure to have her on the show. Tune in as we explore the power of agency in learning to transform the learning experience.
And, be sure to check out this awesome resource Donna has shared with questions and tips on creating the perfect home learning environment: https://mailchi.mp/scaffoldingmagic/buzanko
This resource will guide you in crafting a space that fosters effective learning and growth.
