This session has reiterated that student-teacher relationships are important: getting to know your students, discovering their strengths and weaknesses, and meeting them where they are. The strategies covered help ensure your classroom doesn't become a cookie-cutter classroom and encourage differentiated instruction. Implementing gamification, tiered activities, peer tutoring, and community involvement are great ways to reach students who may struggle in a traditional classroom and to reveal strengths neither you nor the student knew existed.
