Question 1: How does the teacher’s role as a facilitator promote engagement?

# data[].attributes.body
Students are responsible for guiding their own learning and discussion. They have a meaningful "real world" lesson.

Question 2: How does the teacher’s role as a facilitator promote the development of student skills?
Students pull the background knowledge to authentically connect to classmates.

1. It's not about me (the teacher), but my focus should be all about the students!
2. Yet it is about me and what I do to promote student engagement. I've got to be intentional. I've got to plan. I've got to be excited. I've got to sell it! I've got to offer choice! I've got to provide authenticity and purpose.

I love that the teacher involves authentic experiences to engage students. Listening to student comments while at the table with the team as a member of the club and by living it. The teacher is learning along with the students which shows ownership of the process..

Teacher is willing to do and participate in all the activities right along side the students.

Group activity
Teacher as the facilitator the lesson.
The teacher keeps the questions and the lesson going by engaging students through questioning about the information
Student think and share
The teacher is excited about the lesson and provides immediate feedback to the students
Teacher sees herself as a learner too
Collaborative learning for both teacher and students
1.  The teacher is the conductor of the lesson, but at the same time she is learning from the students.
2. The teacher is excited about the lesson and shows her excitement to the students.

From the beginning, she acknowledges that it is Monday. I so know that feeling; but her kids are enjoying themselves.

Providing an authentic experience/prompt for students drives their engagement because students feel like they have something real to respond to.

She sets a task or asks a question, and then lets them get to it.  From there, the students generate a lot of the material.  She is doing a good job
asking questions or guiding their thoughts.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The teacher creates an activity that interests them and talks to them and asks them questions so that they can come up with their own answers. She is even more excited than her students which makes them excited.
2. The teacher asks a lot of guiding questions as the facilitator so that students can build the skills through their own process of questioning and thinking.

It's not about task fulfillment, it's about having a purpose and usingauthentic experiences

1. The teacher is almost completing the task alongside with the students. She is not passively allowing them to work, but is rather asking questions and encouraging the kids to go deeper.

2. The students are so active in these assignments! They are practicing, failing, revising, and redoing, which makes them develop a variety of skills.

I love that she's using a current literary piece to enhance engagement.

By floating and discussing with different groups, the teacher demonstrates genuine enthusiasm for what they're doing, encourages them to dig deeper, and gets them back on track as needed.

"What experiences would teach you the most?" Great question, but why do students struggle with answering that? I feel like a lot of students lack a frame of reference. So I take the lead in trying to introduce realities to them through texts and characters' moral dilemmas. But then I feel as if I just answered the question for them. How do I get them to explore that thinking on their own?

# data[].attributes.body
She's asking them to connect to a text and world making sure they have their own ideas rather than telling them what to think

# data[].attributes.body
This builds off of what I learned from the Stormy Daniels workshop on encouraging student learning through inquiry-I love it when kids get to ask their own questions.

The teacher is just facilitating different activities that are student centered and require student engagement.

# data[].attributes.body
She gets right down in the groups to be part of the conversation. She is part of the task, and not necessary being in charge. Her facilitating is being active with them rather than "running the class".

Teacher steers students to make real-world connections. Students steer the actual discussions.

She relates well with the students. They are buying in to her lesson and enjoying the activity.

Model authenticity, joining in... learning along with them.  Not running the classroom or knowing the right answer.  Teacher is a learner with students; becomes a collaboration.  Investment.

The teacher is playing different roles to help students become engaged. She is both the teacher and student which is great way for students to relate to the topic and make connections.

The teacher's "hands on" approach promotes engagement.  She is directly involved with each and every student and inspires her students to learn ALONG with her!

One of the things that struck me the most was that the teacher is more of a guide on the side, I know cliche.  She is invested in the lesson and learning right along with the students.  When the students see her excitement, they are wanting to have that excitement too.

I totally agree with creating a culture for learning. The students have to see that you're excited and interested in the topic, or else they won't "buy into it." I love how she gets hands on with them. You can tell the students trust and respect her and therefore the learning is happening in her classroom.

The teachers role as facilitator is much more valuable to the students learning and engagement than the teacher lecturing

# data[].attributes.body
Showing students that it's okay to be excited about learning really allows them to let their true feelings show.  They want to be, but they are embarrassed to be the only one.

# data[].attributes.body
I love that she says, "I have to feel just as invested as a learner as they are."

The teacher's role as facilitator impacts student learning in a positive way because she respects students input - they all buy in to this and are not afraid to take risks.

The students conversations were focused on the activity

Many activities in the lesson were project based which helped to make sure it is engaging and authentic for the students. It also connects to the article we read earlier where students get to be creative

Students are engaged in the conversation and have an opportunity to ask questions.

When students see the teacher learning with them, taking the time to ask questions without looking for a specific "correct" answer, and truly taking an interest in their ideas, it causes them to be more engaged in their learning.

She is 'living" it with them...not standing at the front and lecturing so her kids are more engaged
