Empower Your Students through Consent and Authenticity | Anti-Boring Basics 6

👋 Welcome, welcome, welcome back, amazing educators! In this video, we're wrapping up our series on how we, as educators, can guide our students toward an anti-boring approach to their learning journey. So, let's dive right into the final two characteristics of being an anti-boring student and educator.
First up, we've got the crux of it all: establishing consent, inviting collaboration, and centering a student's autonomy while honoring our own as educators. Yes, we draw wisdom from students, but we also recognize that sometimes they need new information. That's where the "consent burger" comes in - a beautiful blend of teaching and drawing out a student's wisdom. You can grab a printable guide for this process at GretchenWagner.com/secret Magic happens when we invite students to give permission to be taught something, fostering collaboration and honoring autonomy.
The second characteristic? Bringing more of our authentic selves into our relationships with students. Authenticity trumps authority! A fellow educator in my course shared how embracing her true self with students was a game-changer. And you know what? Being our quirky, creative selves helps us connect with students on a deeper level, fostering an environment of trust and growth.
Lastly, I've got a little script for you to practice with students. You won't want to miss them because these phrases empower students to embrace their creativity and make the learning process a true collaboration.
Let's keep rocking this anti-boring journey, and I'll catch you in the next one! 🚀
