Eric's Story - Classroom Antics
Instill in your students the importance of education!
As well as teaching subject knowledge, teachers today also have to educate about education. Motivating learners can be challenging because many young people have yet to appreciate how fundamentally their own decisions shape their futures. The long-term benefits of education and school achievement may seem remote.
As teachers well know, lecturing young people about consequences, or how privileged they are to have access to good education, doesn’t work. Classes may not feel like a privilege and diligent achievers risk looking compliant and uncool to their peers. Helping learners understand that education is a lifeline, with immediate as well as long-term gains, is a priority for every educator.
