Stephanie Costello - Let the Students Run the Show

The video discusses the importance of allowing students to demonstrate their learning through creative projects rather than traditional methods. While direct instruction is necessary, teachers are encouraged to give students more freedom to explore and solve problems. This approach can be challenging, especially for new teachers, but it fosters deeper learning and essential skills like collaboration and resilience. Students learn to troubleshoot technology and develop a growth mindset, preparing them for future academic and professional success.
