352: The September Slump
About this episode
The school year starts off strong — students are excited, routines are fresh, and momentum is high. But as September rolls on, many classrooms experience what we call the September Slump. In this episode, we talk about why student engagement can dip during this time, why it’s important to address it early, and practical tips for keeping your classroom energized and focused.
Gretchen’s latest book, Always a Lesson: Teacher Essentials for Classroom and Career Success, is now available on Amazon.
Quotables
- "When your providing feedback, we want it to be timely so that they can do something with it, but we also want it to be specific enough they know what to do differently going forward."
- "When students actively participate in setting their own goals, they feel a sense of ownership."
- "Acknowledge that things are stressful."
