Rituals are more than a daily reminder of the hows and whys of a classroom. They also:
Give students consistency in their learning and routines to help center their thinking.
Reduce anxiety so students can be open to class content.
Create a flow in their school day.
Generally we learn best through experiences. The emphasis for face-to-face learning at Impact Academy is hands-on and investigative activities.
Because students are typically spending only two days with a teacher face-to-face, Impact Academy strives to make these in-person experiences count. During the days at school, it is important that teachers engage students in the highest quality instruction. We prioritize what can be best learned face-to-face.
