Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! This is a place for me to organize and display my thoughts on education and get feedback. My current plan is to open a private high school called Murray Academy. Above are pages with my most recent thoughts. Enjoy!

What Engages Students?

What engages students? This article talks about different ways students say they stay engaged. Here are their answers: 
 Working with peers. Working with technology. Connecting work to the real world (even with topics like Medieval times). Project-based learning. The teacher clearly loving the topic. Moving around in the classroom. Visuals. Student choice. Understanding the students and doing what is best for them. Mixing it up. Being Human.
