Lauren McLoughlin

In this episode, we’re diving into creating a more student-centered classroom… and that it’s so much more than a few classroom jobs and learning centers. 

You’ll know you need this episode if you end up exhausted by the end of your school day, or you’re too tired on your preps to even look at anything, or if your kids are bursting with energy by the time the bell rings.

When you actively set up students to take on more responsibility in your classroom, you’ll have them giving back to you, instead of you giving them all your energy. Plus, our kids will contribute to their learning and the learning environment!

We’ll look at simple ways to set up meaningful classroom jobs, student-centered learning and helpful routines to get you more energy back + more time to give to the kids who need you!
