Student Engagement

Kids Speak Out on Student Engagement

When the students speak . . . . what should we as teachers do?  Providing an educational experience that is deeply meaningful is what we should give our students each day.  Their engagement must be a priority for us.  Students say they get more out of our class when it and their teachers ensure the following:

1. Working with their peers
2. Working with technology
3. Connecting the real world to the work we do/project-based learning
4. Clearly love what you do
5. Get me out of my seat!
6. Bring in visuals
7. Student choice
8. Understand your clients -- the kids
9. Mix it up!
10. Be human
