Show off student projects to show students the variety of assignments

Help students visualize what they would do and learn by showing off your current students’ work. Look for opportunities to highlight their work across the school. For example, consider showing off work at back to school nights, science fairs, or even set up a table at sporting events.

Example: "Look at what students in my CS class made!"
