Learn Like a Pirate [What is a Student-Led Classroom]!

Hey Friends~

I'm back again for another summer book study with Amanda from The Primary Gal! I'm so excited!

So I dove into this book & love it!!!

So, Chapter 1 is all about a student-led Classroom from the eyes of an elementary school teacher. What it looks like, what it feels like & what it sounds like! Students are working collaboratively, engaging in activities & most of all feel safe to do so. They have ownership of the classroom & enjoy being at school!

Creating a student-led classroom doesn't happen over night, it's a commitment you work towards a little each day. Student-led classrooms are only effective if students feel safe, appreciated, and connected to their teacher. This is an atmosphere you create in your classroom & across campus to build relationships that lead to successful scholars. Fearless from the teacher & the students is what will result in a successful school year. Risk taking is what leads to success!

A few quotes I loved from this book are...

  • A student-led classroom is one in which students make decisions & choices throughout the day without consulting the teacher.
  • Practice makes permanent, so help them practice correctly!
This book is so inspiring! I 100% recommend it to all educators looking to move forward into 21st Century Learning! 

Have a a fabulous weekend, order your book & read more below ---->
