Alexandra, Like your steps to help students to see the value of your course. I teach a required course that leads to their state certification so the majority of students are not excited about being in this course. They see it more as a requirement than a course that they might in fact learn something that will be helpful to them. So I have to follow your students so I can get them engaged and seeing the value of what I am teaching along with how the content will aid in their career development. We have fun in the course while making sure they see both relevance and application in the content. Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.
