An effective three-stage strategy to motivate students as they return to the classroom

As schools reopen to all pupils, teachers are looking for the best ways to support those who became disengaged with remote learning. This article proposes a simple three-stage process that will encourage all students to refocus and engage with learning as they return to the classroom. This strategy is appropriate for any learner and any subject and sets students up for success. The article comes with a useful template to guide students through the three steps.
