The Most Important Idea
Tip #1: December 9, 2020
At the beginning of class, ask your students to be on the look-out for their most important idea of that session. It causes students to be more attentive, brings good karma, and affirms their importance to you. It's a strong finishing touch as students share their most important ideas with the class.
