Inspire active discussion, harness peer power!

Student Spotlight Lessons include videos showing interactive discussions between groups of students, along with visuals of their work and photos and recordings of their individual approaches.

Spotlights are embedded directly in the platform at the corresponding lessons in Additional Materials, so you're just a click away from video examples of students comparing approaches and working through challenges together.
