Quotes from the episode

We have to recognize that our students have a lot going on. Sometimes, even despite their best intention, they may not be able to be a 100% attentive in our classroom.

I've had students share with me in the past that they were considering dropping the class, and then they got that welcome email, and they thought, okay, this time, it's going to be different.
-Teresa Thompson

My syllabus was all Barbie themed. In the semester before that, it was Pokemon themed. Semester before that was Stranger Things themed.
-Teresa Thompson

I don't want their first impression of me to be me quickly cleaning the board or freaking out because I can't find a whiteboard marker that works. I want them to see me calm and ready and happy to greet them as they walk in.

Quotes from the episode

Status quo is our enemy too often.

-Andrew Cross

-Andrew Cross

Encourage students to freely explore the content on their own. Sometimes that's content, sometimes it's a physical space. Turn them loose to go off and find something that they find interesting, a little bit of free choice learning.
