116 | Miss Thematic Teaching? How Connected Learning Naturally Improves Student Behavior

from Enjoy Teaching Again | Elementary, Teacher Burnout, Student Behavior, SEL, Classroom Management · host Elizabeth M. Peterson - Teacher, Arts Integration Specialist & Creative SEL Consultant

Do you remember when classrooms had themes? When units of study connected — the bulletin boards, the writing, the projects — and students were completely invested? Thematic teaching may not be “a thing” anymore in the age of scripted curriculum, but connection still matters. And when learning feels connected, behavior improves naturally. I can't wait to share these 3 simple ways you can bring back connected learning starting this week. You don’t need permission to bring back the spark.   ~Elizabeth   Mentioned in This Episode: Do YOU a question you want me to answer on the podcast?
