Join Dr. Beth and Dr. Anna as they explore how to make the most of the final weeks with your students. This episode focuses on creating meaningful closure through reflection, celebration, student voice, and transitions.
Discover practical strategies for student self-reflection, including visual growth timelines, reflection question prompts, and work sample comparisons that help students see their progress. Learn how to facilitate collective reflection through class memory books, collaborative wisdom walls, and appreciation circles that build community.
The hosts discuss how to address transitions explicitly—whether students are moving to the next grade level, changing schools, or facing the shift into summer—and provide tools to help students manage these changes. They also emphasize the importance of teacher reflection as a crucial part of developing professional practice.
Whether you're a new teacher or a veteran educator, this episode offers valuable insights for creating a meaningful end to your school year that honors student growth and your classroom community.
