-Ask students at the beginning of a class what they know and then asking them again at the end what they now know, asking students what they WANT to know

-hands on projects result in greater learning

-bringing in guest speakers

-students need to shift mindset as well- from “what does it take to get an A” and “what does it take to get this class over with” to “how can I grow and apply this to my life?”
