The right student jobs in a classroom have the power to:

  • tap into student interests
  • build positive classroom culture
  • give more ownership to the students of their learning experience.

But what kind of classroom jobs accomplish this?

What kind of jobs will students be eager to do?

What kind of jobs will give them skills they can use beyond the classroom?

I've been experimenting with student jobs since 2011

After a few years of having the same jobs for students and seeing things getting stale in my classroom, I decided I wanted to come up with jobs students would WANT to do.

In this FREE course, I share the student jobs that students have loved, that have given them opportunities to be creative, and that have helped create a positive classroom culture.
