WRITTEN BY SHANE REINHARD

QUESTION 3 OF 30

How do you get students excited about history?

Students get inspired by a subject in different ways. Speak to your motivation techniques. By elaborating on your teaching methods, the administration will get a bigger picture of the potential impact you could have on a school.

"I do not believe lectures are the most effective way to get students excited about history. I want to incorporate videos, projects, and group work to teach them as well. This way, they get a great perspective of history."
