Engagement Prior topics: Eliciting responses Differentiated learning Corrective feedback Effective Praise Today’s topics: 3 points about engagement Practice observing engagement

Point 1:Even the best engagement skills are not enough Teachers need to show: – Warmth – More praise than punishment – Appropriate feedback Especially important with diverse or challenged learners. Why?

Point 2: Student engagement is a continual process Teacher monitoring of student engagement is essential: – “withitness” – Calling on every student – Frequent checking for understanding with informal assessment Changing modes of instruction if engagement is low

Point 3: “Different strokes for different folks.” Students come with different backgrounds and preferences for modes of learning Every class is a mix of differences Teachers must use varied forms and modes of instruction and opportunities to demonstrate learning.
