Life happens outside of school, and sometimes it can get in the way of completing assignments on time.

That’s why Dr. Lainey Sevillano of Portland State University offers a “Life Happened” card, which allows students to get points back on late assignments.

Learn more about Dr. Sevillano’s approach to creating a culture of classroom care in her free ebook.

The most memorable teachers are often the ones who care about their students as people, not just as learners.
