9. Students learn better when they gain a sense of accomplishment and success from our classes

We all respond best when information is presented in ways we enjoy. We all respond best when we enjoy what we are doing. We all respond best when we experience success as a result of our efforts.

What learning methods are best for the students? What makes them enjoy and activity? What helps them become successful? Our students are not simply younger versions of ourselves so we have to re-think our approach to how we teach Canadian History, to maximize their understanding and enjoyment.
