  3. Why Do YOU Teach?

  4. Dr. Robert Marzano… … translates research and theory into applications for the classroom.

  5. Discuss some of the following assertions/issues. Agree? Disagree? • We sometimes confuse the behaviors of engaged with compliant. • Students really just want “edutainment.” • Can you have engagement with high-stakes testing and accountability?

  6. An Old Proverb states: • You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink. • We learned that maybe with “reward and punishment” the horse will do what ever we ask. • However, consider a different goal, “How can I make the horse thirsty?”

  7. Engagement … From: To: How can we make our classrooms more engaging? Why aren’t students more engaged?

  8. Dr. Marzano’s Four Questions

  9. Question OneHow do I feel?

  10. Aspects of Emotional Engagement Influenced by the Classroom • Students’ levels of energy • A teacher’s positive demeanor • Students’ perceptions of acceptance

  11. “Amazingly, the part of the brain that processes movement is the same part of the brain that processes learning.”Eric Jensen, Teaching With the Brain in Mind, 2005

  12. Physical Movement • Stretch breaks • Movement related to rehearsal (inch, feet, yard) • Movement necessary to further understand the content • Give one, Get one • Drama

  13. Physical Movement • Physical representations • Movement that facilitates sharing (Mix-Pair-Discuss) • Voting with your feet • Corners activities • Whole-class or whole-school exercise

  14. Let’s Get Engaged!

  15. Give One/ Get One On a card, respond to the following: • One way I engage students in my classroom is to . . . • Take your card and find a partner; introduce yourself, share your information and then exchange cards NOTE: you leave with your partner’s card • After two or three exchanges, return to your • table group and share information on your last • card • Summarize your findings and choose one person from your group to report to the larger group. How could you use this activity in your classroom?

  16. Vote With Your Feet • Students move to different parts of a room to signify which answer they believe is correct. • Best done with multiple choice questions or controversial topics. Are current energy generation systems safe for the environment?

  17. Do you have anything to add to your ideas sheet?

  18. Paired Verbal Fluency Topic: What important information did you learn from Tony, Matt and Rich today? • Letter off A – B • Take turns talking about topic • Do not repeat anything already said Three rounds: Round 1 – 60 seconds each Round 2 – 45 seconds each Round 3 – 30 seconds each Partners:

  19. Do you have anything to add to your ideassheet?

  20. Sharing & Networking Protocol • Choose a facilitator, a time keeper, a recorder and a reporter • Facilitator: Help generate a list of “hot” topics and guide the conversation • Time Keeper: Work in a break, ensure there is time for each area of discussion, give a 10 minute warning to begin wrapping up conversations • In your group take turns sharing and discussing: • Hot Topics • Lesson ideas • Instructional Strategies • Etc . . .
