I used to think getting students engaged just meant getting them to participate. Turns out, it’s a whole lot messier—and way more interesting—than I ever imagined. In this episode, I’m sharing the five biggest lessons I’ve learned about what actually works in the classroom. From turning boring lectures into real conversations, to surviving the chaos of group projects (where half the team forgets what day it is), I’m spilling it all. You’ll hear about my surprising wins, my cringe-worthy mistakes, and the strategies that finally started to click. If you’ve ever wondered how to truly capture attention—and keep it—this one’s for you.
