Big Idea

Do you ever start the school year with some advice to students on how to succeed in science class this year? Or do you offer inspirational quotes on hard work or motivation? I have done both. But, this year, I’m planning on starting with something that – I think – is even more relatable to my students: student advice written by students.

Episode Notes

How to give genuine student advice by students

• Ideally, ask your classes on the last day of school for advice they would give themselves if they were to do the class all over again. Then, collect and hold onto those responses for the students in the fall.

• But, if you don’t already have student advice and it’s the beginning of the year ask your senior students what advice they’d have for their younger self. For example, ask your grade 12 students what advice they would have for their grade 8 self with regards to science class. Then, collect these responses, sift through them, and present the more helpful ones to students in your grade 8 or 9 classes.

Thanks for watching, and let’s talk science education again soon.
