Engagement strategies are important in classroom because these are activities or ways to keep students engaged in their lessons, providing motivation, and could increase the achievement of students.
The first strategy I find valuable is movement because this allows students a chance to get up and move around and get back on being focused when the lesson starts again. Sometimes if a students is siting for long period of time they stop paying attention to the lesson and this way I would use movement in my classroom.
The second is play games with students because they are fun. I believe that teachers need to show students that learning is fun and this can happen by using this strategy. While I was observing the teacher used kahoot and just to see how excited the student got made me happy. With technology there are so many apps and websites that can used.
The brain science behind engagement is that is causes certain brain chemicals to reacted. Neurochemicals are important and when simulated this cause the brain to change as the are students fully engaged while learning.

Kayla,
ReplyDeleteAwesome post! I like how organized and concise it is! You're exactly right, those brain chemicals are super important for their memory and our sanity! I love playing games with students. A little friendly competition is good for them I think. I put this in my post to Kylie as well, but doing student-teacher points is fun. There are certain things throughout the day they can do to earn points as a team. Any points they don't get go to the teacher. For example, if everyone is in their seat ready to learn at the bell, students get a point. If people are up walking around, talking, etc. The teacher gets the point. The classes that I've seen do this have always enjoyed it and even get some friendly sass with the teacher. Its a great way to keep them focused, and a great way to build relationships. As always, wonderful job!
