Soon, we’ll be hitting that time of year when it seems like the kids have more days off than days at school – but not to worry! Renzulli gives you a number of ways to keep connected with your students – and keep them working on enriching, engaging activities that will keep them signing in, even during their break.
Here are a couple ideas:
- Send your students a “Favorite” – they’ll get a note in their inbox that tells them you’ve sent them an activity – AND lets them know you’re thinking of them.
- Set up a collaborative group to lead a discussion among your students on an upcoming topic. You can even attach an assignment. This is a great way to keep students connected to you and each other during a break – and keep the content you need to teach in the forefront of your students’ minds.
- Set up a couple “Curriculum Connections” on topics you have coming up after the break. Direct your students to login during the break and explore a set number of these resources, and give them a couple guiding questions in the directions. This will allow the students the freedom to “dabble” in the resources Renzulli selects for them, but still be exposed to the new concepts they will have to master when they return to school.
Good tips…concise and to the point!
