Be Student Centered Day One

be student centered day one

If we want our classrooms to be student-centered we need to start this day 1.

What message do you send your students when day 1 you stand in front of the room, introduce yourself and go over the syllabus?

It is a new era, we should not be teaching like we were taught. I challenge you to reconsider how you start your first day of school. Below is a link to a crowd sourced spreadsheet so we can share our ideas for how to have a student-centered first day of school. Please submit your idea and see what ideas other teachers have.

Join Alice Keeler for this session for teaching with AI

Imagine having a team of teaching assistants who already know your syllabus and exactly how you like to give feedback. Join Google Certified Innovator Alice Keeler to learn how to use Google Gems to build a powerful collection of custom AI tools. We will explore how to engineer specific instructions so you can create a Grading Assistant or a Classroom Policy Manager that works for you. You will also learn how to leverage Gems shared by other educators to instantly expand your toolkit. This session is about super-powering your teaching by automating the routine tasks so you can focus on the students.
