You’ve done the work. You’ve unwrapped the standards, created meaningful learning targets, have assessments that give you pinpoint precision information…but your students still aren’t mastering their objectives. So, what now? If this sounds familiar, then maybe it’s time to step back and take a look at revisiting how the curriculum is being implemented and the learner activities in which the students are engaged. Join us as we take a look at the science behind student engagement and dis-engagement and how this plays a role in how we should go about implementing various instructional strategies.
Session 1: During this session, we will revisit and take a deeper look into the various forms of student engagements, the relationship between motivation and engagement, what it looks like, the role of teacher clarity, and more!
Session 2: During session 2, we will dig into various research-based instructional methods and activities which can be used to help increase student engagement. We will tie each of the activities back to a component of “why” students are dis-engaged in order to be more aware of selecting the appropriate strategy to counteract the underlying cause.
Target Audience: Curriculum Directors, Administrators, Instructional Coaches, content teachers looking to increase student engagement in their classrooms.Materials Needed/Interactive Level: Participants will have multiple opportunities to share their thoughts and ideas with other attendees.
