The main theme that jumped out to me was making connections. Connect what students have taken initiatives of learning on their own and advance on it in anyway possible. Also, relate material to things outside of the classroom to make it more understandable to students.
Literally go beyond the classroom. Get outside and apply the learning that was discussed in the classroom. Being able to see instant results of their learning is really gratifying to students. Showing the meaning of lessons and that its not just a waste of time can really open their eyes and make them more open to learning.
Conveying meaning of what is learned in the classroom and applying it to real life is something I will look to do often. I don't want my students to sit there and say "Why are we even doing this?" I want them to see the fruits of their labor in the real world and not just get used to seeing letter or number grades.
