The teacher knowing his or her student's interests to incorporate fun meaningful activities that align with the curriculum. Ex: learning contractions- The teacher dresses as a surgeon with a surgery kit. Preps the classroom to be the operating room. Students arrive and become contraction surgeons with masks, gloves, bandaids, & scissors. The students cut apart words & put them together with their surgery kits to make contractions in small groups.

Students smiling, laughing, and enjoying the activities that are planned because they are genuinely interested in the content. Students working in groups facilitating their learning and working together towards common goals.

Group/partner writing projects are a time when my students show great engagement. Recently I had numerous partners creating books following the If You Give A Mouse a Cookie book style. Partners chose an animal and food for their title, then worked together to create a circular story. Most sets of partners spent 4-5 days to go through the writing process and it was clear their level of enthusiasm to get to their writing project. Giving students choice and eliminating time constraints seems to be two important factors in allowing true engagement.

Students are highly engaged when something involves working with a partner, some type of creativity, as well as personal connection on the student's part. They may be creating a poster or performing a writing piece that they have a choice of sharing something about themselves. When it involves a personal connection students are highly motivated.

Engagement is more likely to happen in classrooms providing carefully planned activities only slightly above individual student's skill levels, allowing opportunities for choice and planing frequent collaboration between students.

Student engagement involves processes that are difficult to observe. Student engagement involves learning that students find personally meaningful. Learning that students desire to master for themselves, not to achieve a grade or 'look smart' to their peers. Student engagement involves strong student-teacher relationships that are positive and increase a teachers understanding of each student's social/emotional well being.

Student engagement involves students being behaviorally (on task behaviors), emotionally (positive feelings) and cognitively (active thinking) invested in learning.

physical activities to stimulate learning (i.e. brain-breaks)

social engagement-
stimulate learning through social interactions (i.e. debates, collaboration, clubs, friendly academic competition)

cultural engagement-
taking steps to include diverse cultures/backgrounds in the classroom and not promoting one over another (i.e. family background research, flags of the world math, classrooms represent a country of the world)
