2. Engagement or Not? Let’s take a peek at this student in class. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3W_4Y0lOzg

3. Clearly no engagement! • Is there any level of participation from students in the lesson? How much? • How engaged in the lesson are the students around their sleepy classmate? • What are the feelings students are having towards their classmate? • How are the students treating their classmate? *How can the teacher better engage her students?

4. How can we engage? Are students literally falling asleep in our classes? NO! The point is that can the lack of engagement be masked by other things? For example: Not paying attention in general Fidgeting Day dreaming Asking for a bathroom pass (Teachers: Insert your way students best avoid learning here!)
