Student Engagement
What is Student Engagement?
Student engagement is something that we as future teachers have to really understand, and learn the importance of. Student engagement is when students are independently motivated while learning, they are working through challenges and engaging in their own understanding by thinking deeply and making connections.
There are many different ways that we can promote and incorporate different engagement strategies for our students. Students who are engaged, learn at higher levels and have a profound grasp on what they are learning. These students also will retain the information that they are learning when they are engaged in the lessons. Also when students are engaged it is easier for them to then transfer their knowledge to new concepts they are learning and compare them.
Below is a a chart with many engagement ideas that you can use in the classroom. I myself remember using some of these strategies when I was in school. I also see teachers that I am observing now using these strategies in their classroom. I believe that all these students responded really well to these ideas and had a lot of fun interacting within the classroom.

Rylee,
ReplyDeleteI really liked the picture that you used, it's wonderful! I Agree when students are engaged they are able to learn the most information that they possibly can. I feel like this can almost go with Bloom's Taxonomy. I think that these ideas can go straight into a lesson for a teacher and use them regularly. I like the idea of creating a safe place for students to have a debate. I would love to use this in my own classroom at some point. I noticed that a lot of these I personally did not use in the classroom when I was a child. These are a great ideas!
Awesome work!!
