Building Student Engagement!

A few "think-abouts" when you are providing instruction to a group of students:

• make sure you have your students attention before initiating instruction
• use a signal
• pace the lesson to maintain students attention
• keep the lesson moving
• use pair share
• have group responses
• be ready
• maintain close proximity to students
• be up and moving around the room
• don't sit at the computer or document camera
• transition quickly between tasks
• know your routines
• have materials ready 
• refocus off-task students to the lesson focus
• make sure you have stated your expectations
• make them want to engage with you
