How do
you plan to implement active engagement strategies in your classroom? How will this impact your instruction?
I would like to try to implement more engagement strategies that get students out of their seats. With 90 minute classes it is easy to lose students to boredom. I have used different strategies in the past and would like to bring some of these back. For example, I have done four corners where students have to move to the corner with the response they most agree with. I have also found in the past that around the world activities are pretty successful and engaging. As opposed to just sitting and doing a worksheet students move around and work on problems that are posted throughout the room. However, it is also important to have students engaged when they are sitting and taking notes as well. I try to do quick think-pair-shares as well as have students respond to me with thumbs up or thumbs down for certain questions. I want to make sure that I am implementing some sort of active engagement strategy every day in class because this provides me with good feedback on my students' mastery of the material and also keeps them from zoning out and getting bored.
