Engaging Students Reflection


            After participating in TJ and Emily’s presentation, I believe I have learned a lot about engaging students. I have learned that it is important to make students feel included in the classroom. A teacher can do this by having students help with rules, work together in groups, and discuss things that go on in class. Students need to feel like they are wanted in the class in order to get them engaged. Also it is great to get students moving because it wakes them up and gets them engaged. They are more at to remain focused if you get them excited about what they will be learning. Students like to know what they are doing, so it is good to write what you are going to be doing in class on the board. All of this and many other things keep students engaged. The secret is to do your research and find exciting ways to get each student engaged and excited to be in class. As teachers this should be our goal. After taking art in their presentation my goal is to make sure my students are always engaged and ready to be in class.
