Much of what happens inside a classroom is the result of the opinions and demands of many stakeholders: governments, school boards, administration, and parents. Too often, the most important voices have little to no say—the students. Hannah Knecht has worked with people of all ages: elementary, middle, and adult learners. Her straightforward system for eliciting student feedback creates a powerful classroom structure in which students themselves can shape the learning environment they want.
In this episode of Authentic Educators, Cody and Dave discuss Hannah's methodology with her. We were blown away by how such a quick and easy structure had profoundly positive impacts on her students.
If you like what you hear from Hannah, she is a co-host of a wonderful educational podcast: Key Connections for Educators. We both highly recommend giving it a listen.
