Character Lab: Build Connections Tool
Help your students connect what they're learning in class to the goals they've set for themselves.
Students are naturally curious—and they do better and are more engaged in school when they understand how lessons relate to their personal interests and goals.
Build Connections is an activity designed to help students see connections between the content they are learning in class and the real world. It can also help students understand how school will help them reach their individual goals.
