Your comment about working “with students to find the relevance” reminds me of active learning. “Active learning means shifting some of the leadership of the course to the students and creating a situation where they will be responsible, in a significant measure, for their own learning. It means rethinking the purpose of higher education not simply as the mastery of content and the attainment of a grade for a course, or even the awarding of a diploma, but as helping students prepare for all the rest of life — both in college and beyond” (Davidson, 2018). Thus, helping students find relevance has a lasting impact.
