I’m entering my third year of teaching ELA in a public high school here in Maine. I’ve tried every strategy I learned in college, but there are always four or five kids who just aren’t motivated by grades. They’ve probably spent their whole school career discounting themselves, or they just don’t see how grades meaningfully impact their lives.
One of the greatest challenges of this school year has been building and maintaining relationships with students in the virtual learning space.
Ten years, two districts, and two grade levels later, so much has changed, yet so much has stayed the same.

My district split kids up, so many of my students who went virtual had another teacher. The problem is, as they come back, they are way behind the kids that have been here.
What can we do in our classrooms to empower the students who are feeling forgotten and undervalued?
