(Re)Defining Student Engagement | Reading By Example - 0 views

  • I call on all school leaders, myself included, to put aside our biases and misconceptions regarding student engagement, as we engage in our own learning experiences during our frequent visits to classrooms.
  •  Let our student actions and dispositions guide our professional assessments.
  • We in education talk so much about engagement in concert with terms like “collaboration”, “technology”, and “passion”. Is this where the best learning takes place? Sometimes, maybe even often, but certainly not always.

  • Engagement (student involvement in instruction) can be described in a variety of ways. I think too often engagement is exclusively predefined by educators as “hands on”, “students doing more talking than the teacher”, or “active”. These descriptors may all be key indicators of engagement. But the definition should not stop there.

Are Your Students Distracted by Screens? Here's A Powerful Antidote - Edudemic - 0 views

  • Many teachers I encounter have decided that they need to crack down on — if not entirely eradicate — screen distractions in their classrooms. (A minority of teachers accept it as a form of 21st century doodling.)
  • If the activity is engaging and challenging, there is an authentic audience, and prescribed time limits, students won’t mess around.
  • The more time I spend “teaching” teachers something from the front of the room, the more inclined they are to check email, Facebook, or whatever.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Add in the possibility that they they’ll have to present to the entire class, or post their creation online, and they’re even more focused
  • the activities are challenging and expectations high
  • it’s more like: “This is hard. And I’m not going to show you how to do it. But I expect what you create will be excellent.
  • Tell students you’re going to present their work at a conference, or submit it to a state publication, and then watch the heightened focus in their eyes
  • Teacher lectures impart useful information and explanations, and they can be lively and engaging.
