Promoting Relevancy and Engagement in Science

OVERVIEW

As learners, we naturally crave to know more about the world around us. When we connect student learning to real-world phenomena, student interests and experiences, and current events, we can foster authentic engagement in the classroom. In this interactive session, we share practical ways to make learning relevant and increase student motivation and achievement.

DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES

In this session, participants will:

-Consider the research related to the significance and best practices related to relevancy and engagement
