• Joy and play are essential components of the learning process. These two components spark creativity, imagination, and curiosity within students. Classrooms should include outdoor play, sensory play, artistic play, and imaginative play.

Sustaining Effort and Persistence:

• Collaborative and collective learning play key roles in student success. When students work together, they are exposed to different perspectives and problem-solving strategies.

• Students should perceive themselves and the perspectives of others in curriculum. This can be done by diversifying reading materials, connecting learning to students lives, and encouraging students to share their own experiences.

Connect Prior Knowledge to New Learning

• Information should be presented in a way that students will be able to connect to their own prior knowledge. Educators might use cross curricular learning in spite of this.

• Setting meaningful goals is important as it helps guide student learning within the classroom. It is essential for monitoring progress and analyzing what needs to be worked on. Goals should be specific, objective, and measurable.

• Expecting challenges within goals that may come along the way is important for students to be prepared because it helps them build resilience, develop problem solving strategies, and stay determined, even after facing set-backs.
