Academic Challenge | Does what you learn in class help you outside of school?

Does what you learn in class help you outside of school?

Make school relevant

Why does it matter?

The question “Does what you learn in class help you outside of school?” helps educators check-in on whether or not students are being supported in making connections between their lives, the world outside school, and what they are learning in the classroom. Making learning relevant to students promotes engagement, motivation, and equity.
