We facilitate a lot of intrapersonal discovery and try to connect with their lives today.  We also believe in approaching as much learning as possible through multi-disciplinary integration, the growth mindset approach and any STEAM activities we can tie in.  Building relationships with our students is more important than content, but once those meaningful relationships are built, deeper meaning happens on a regular basis and real learning begins to take place.

Building a relationship with them creates trust and understanding and allows you to connect on a deeper level. It's all about community and finding out what  they are interested in and allowing them to help create the lesson.

Students become much more interested, think deeper and understand the meaning of the content when they can relate it their own lives and make real world connections. Teachers can ensure this by modeling behavior, relating content to their own lives and asking students to expand their higher order thinking skills as they relate the content to their own lives.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to do this you need to make real world connections between the students and the unit study. You can do this by finding out your students' interests and creating ways to integrate those interests into unit studies. Students will be more invested in the unit if it relates to them, which will create a deeper meaning and understanding for the students as well.

Students can choose a specific topic that relates to an area in which the class is learning, and develop an inquiry question that guides them through their learning experience. This gives students a chance to relate to the topic and feel in charge of their education. It also allows them to connect real world applications to the subjects they are learning about in the classroom.

For students to better understand and find deep meaning in an area of study, they need to have a practical application for the material, making it tangible in their everyday lives and the lives of their parents and peers.

Mirroring and walking students through your experience of learning, warts and all, can show them a path. When their's varies it be an additional, and maybe more powerful lesson, in addition to the content.
