(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.

The 'mindset' mindset: What we miss by focusing on kids' attitudes - The Washington Post - 0 views

  • But the first problem with this seductively simple script change is that praising children for their effort carries problems of its own, as several studies have confirmed: It can communicate that they’re really not very capable and therefore unlikely to succeed at future tasks. (“If you’re complimenting me just for trying hard, I must really be a loser.”)

      A blanket formula for talking to others about success and failure is bound to fail. I think there needs to be a sensitivity shown to each person in a situation where they need motivation.
