In school communities like Crescent, we continually reflect on ways to engage our students, whether in the classroom, during study periods, in Mentor Group, or on the sports field.

One aspect of human learning that remains constant is that knowledge that engages students emotionally is more likely to be remembered (Judson, 2022). New learning gains meaning and ownership when the connections are personal, discovery has merit, and as a result, it is enjoyable and memorable.
