      How Teachers Can Use Inner ID With Students
    </h2>
    <p class="text-gray-700">
      Great classrooms aren’t powered by louder lectures—they’re shaped by clearer language. When
      <strong>teachers</strong> give students a simple way to name what they value, what they need, and what
      they’ll do next, motivation and <strong>student engagement</strong> rise. <em>Inner ID</em> turns
      <strong>classroom reflection</strong> into a short, repeatable routine so learners build a practical sense of
      <strong>student identity</strong> and strengthen <strong>emotional intelligence in schools</strong>.

    <h2 class="text-2xl md:text-3xl font-semibold">Why Inner ID belongs in the classroom</h2>
    <ul class="list-disc pl-6 space-y-2">
      <li><span class="font-semibold">Language builds identity:</span> students who can articulate values and boundaries act with more purpose.</li>
      <li><span class="font-semibold">Short loops beat long lectures:</span> 3–5 minutes of routine reflection improves attention and retention.</li>
      <li><span class="font-semibold">Emotion → action:</span> naming feelings reduces noise so learners can take one specific step, not spin.</li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      Inner ID is a compact <strong>teaching tool</strong> designed for busy periods—warm-ups, transitions, exits.
      It’s quick enough for daily use and meaningful enough to support <strong>Inner ID education</strong> goals.

      Inner ID gives <strong>teachers</strong> an easy way to weave identity, agency, and skill into daily routines.
      With a minute of <strong>classroom reflection</strong>, learners practice naming who they are becoming and how
      they’ll show up today. Start with a weekly Signature Word, keep the lines short, and celebrate the small wins.
