On both my blog and podcast, I write and speak about student engagement in the classroom. The reason why I put so much emphasis into student engagement? I have found, in my eighteen years in the classroom either as a middle school or high school educator, or an educational technology instructional coach the past five years, if students are engaged in our instruction and their student learning activities, and assessments, student performance rises. It’s a given.
In today’s episode I’m going to share why student engagement is a powerhouse to student learning and why it makes sense to invest time that is intentional to building and encouraging student engagement in our classroom.
