Tips from Previous Competitors
-
"Find a topic you want to teach and start making materials as early as possible. Use complex topics that match with your grade level and use materials like slides, games, worksheets, and videos to teach your lesson. Use a reward system during your lesson to increase participation. Take plenty of photos to add to your lesson plan and include detailed explanations of each section of the lesson. READ THE RUBRIC CAREFULLY TOO!" - Gargi Dhariya (2025)
