The Highly Engaged Classroom

 

Marazono's Webinar - The Highly Engaged Classroom | Presented by Margaret McInteer
Novice and veteran teachers alike are always challenged with the goal of keeping students engaged. This webinar, based on the book of the same title, will review the research on classroom engagement and then provide perspectives and strategies to help teacher meet these challenges. The book, thus the Webinar, organizes the complex topic of engagement into four critical areas:
  • Student emotions (How do I feel/)
  • Student interest (Am I interested?)
  • Student perceptions of importance (Is this important?)
  • Student perceptions of efficacy (Can I do this?)
Specific recommendations and resources will be offered in each of the four areas. These will include strategies that could be applied immediately as well as strategies that, when used over time, contribute to the development of “highly engaged classrooms.”

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

 

*Classroom-Management Tips for Teachers - video

Educators share how to keep it all together in class.

Rules and Procedure

Teachers need to distinguish between rules and procedures. There should be less than 5 rules in a classroom which govern behavior (e.g. respect others).
There can be many procedures (e.g. passing papers, using computers, turning in homework) which should be taught as the need arises.
All rules and procedures should be reviewed throughout the year. Don't we all forget sometimes? The review is as much for me as for the students.

  3. Include Students in Creating Rules, Norms, Routines, and Consequences
  4. Create a Variety of Communication Channels
  5. Always Be Calm, Fair, and Consistent
  6. Know the Students You Teach
  7. Address Conflict Quickly and Wisely
  8. Integrate Positive Classroom Rituals
  9. Keep It Real
  10. Partner with Parents and Guardians

Video #7 session addresses two questions that are central to social studies assessment: How do we know students are learning? and How do we know our teaching is effective? Because assessment often provides only a snapshot of learning, social studies teachers need a variety of tools and strategies to gauge students' knowledge.
