Setting the Stage by Dana Ernst, Northern Arizona University

Hello IBL community. Here's a short post linking you to Dana's great piece, "Setting the Stage." It's a good way to get started at the beginning of the term thinking about what to do to get your students to be more engaged and build buy-in. http://danaernst.com/setting-the-stage/

Another thing I like to do at the beginning of the term is watch Ken Robinson's Ted talk, "How to Escape Education's Death Valley". It's a nice way to feel a bit more inspired so that you're encouraged to take that next step.

So take a look at some ways to get started on day 1 and on getting pumped up for the rest of the term.

Happy 2018 everyone!
