Educators know that effective teaching isn’t just about the content they teach, but how students feel in the classroom. When students feel seen and valued for who they are – when they feel that they matter – they’re set up to thrive as learners. This is why we’re excited to introduce new collections of free, ready-to-play kahoots and other resources from bestselling author Jennifer B. Wallace, based on her new book Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose.
Through this engaging learning content on Kahoot!, educators and learners can explore how the current achievement-first school culture and ‘crisis of meaning’ impacts students, and why mattering is key to a flourishing school community.
Learn how to foster students’ sense of mattering in your classroom

The course also includes a downloadable guide and Take Home Tools sheet with key takeaways and helpful resources.
