Are you experiencing loss of student engagement as you approach the end of the term or the end of the school year?
End of term disengagement can seem a little bit like Christmas, in that it comes earlier each year! I remember it well. I get it. There’s still so much serious stuff to do before you can succumb to relaxing into the holiday vibe.
但是永远不要害怕！在此博客中，我将分享一些在学期结束时或学年结束时保持学生参与度的主要技巧！
学期结束时增加学生参与度的想法
Class Scrapbooks
As the end of term approaches, keep your eyes peeled for the perfect moment to introduce a剪贴簿项目。
As soon as you notice your students transitioning into wind-down mode, motivate them with an independent project. You’ll probably find that students take more risks and demonstrate a new level of enthusiasm.
剪贴簿项目非常出色，因为它们鼓励：
- 独立学习
- development of individual learning styles and strengths
- development of research skills
- 增加了学生的动力和参与度。
- development of personal interests
- development of student confidence
我会建议集思广益的项目思想与您的班级一起给学生一定程度的方向。项目书的想法可能包括个人兴趣， 一个environmental issueor a基于社区的项目。

天才小时
天才小时是一种在学期结束时保持学生参与度的令人震惊的方式。它允许学生从事passion project, idea or new skill during class time.
这些项目可以定期完成指定的学习时间（例如每周一小时），也可以作为快速完成者活动完成。为什么不鼓励您的学生在假期中继续从事他们的激情项目？
我们创建了一个简化的，六步的过程，供教师和学生在课堂上关注。
Our天才小时Teaching Resource Pack提供教师注释，以解释该过程，以及您在学生通过这个基于系统的学习过程中工作时所需的所有资源。万博足球体育
How does Genius Hour work?
- During Genius Hour, students identify atopic or problem他们对研究，回答或解决的深刻，开放式的询问问题充满热情。
- Students take a systematic approach to the formulation of their询问问题和研究。
- 在他们的天才小时项目结束时，学生present or create a final productthat communicates their findings and/or solution. Genius Hour presentations can take a variety of written, spoken or visual forms, such as a multi-modal presentation, a book, a script, a movie or a speech; through cooking, building or performing a community service (amongst other ideas).
- 总结一个天才小时项目，学生反思他们的经历天才小时的过程。他们甚至可能形成新的问题，可以在随后的天才小时项目中回答。
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)

Term Reflection
Reflection is a powerful thing. Kids love looking back on what they have done and it’s a great way to encourage student engagement.
鼓励您的学生reflect on their learning experiencesat the end of the term as a great way to acknowledge achievements. In my experience, looking back and feeling proud helps to increase student engagement looking forward.

Crank Up Communication between School and Home
A great way to increase student engagement is to send positivity home!
Spend five minutes each week writing out a handful ofpositive parent notes, or sending messages in parent communication apps likeSeesawand Class Dojo.
Keep a list of the students you have sent positive notes about to ensure every student receives at least one personal message home each term.
外部学习
There’s perhaps no better time than the end of the term totake your classroom outsideand to get somefresh air呢室外教室的好处一次又一次地记录在室外。一些好处包括：
- better academic performance

- increased enthusiasm
- 改进的行为。
