Fall 2013 post #4


How do you plan to implement active engagement strategies in your classroom?  How will this impact your instruction?

This webinar was very helpful for me as I have struggled to come up with creative engagement strategies. I find myself using the same 2 or 3 strategies over and over. In my algebra 1 class I have seen that my students will not be engaged without some sort of activity. My senior precalculus students are intrinsically motivated to the point that they are engaged in simple lecture and group discussion. 

For my algebra 1 students I plan on using more choral response. I find myself falling into the trap of only questioning one student at a time. I will add to my repertoire numbered heads, inside/outside circle, and roundtable. These additional strategies will keep students interested and engaged; therefore, learning the content to a higher degree.
