Loved the main point, teachers are designers of plans and not instructors of materials. Was informative, as a new teacher with a new audience it made me realize I wasn't doing things that the book advises and it helped me to better understand how to work in my classroom.

Would rather read it than hear it. Repetition and Hands on are a must. Learning by doing helps. Being talked at is not effective. Practice needs to be done to fully learn it.  To gain knowledge on a particular topic self discovery works well for students to gain understanding.

The content was very informative, it made you think as a teacher and weather you were actually engaging your students. From the new teacher perspective she will use it as a check off list on how to engage her students.

A writing project where students wrote a paper with steps to do something. Another student was given the paper and had to follow the steps as they were written. Activities that are hands on and require higher order thinking skills create a great learning environment.

It is very important to know the standards and they need to be clearly stated. The need to be accessible so that teachers know what they are being held accountable for.

Depends on the assessment of that learning experience. Can we try something new to see how effective it is or are we going to be assessed seriously on it at an early stage? We feel 'safe' but uneasy starting something new.

Engagement means commitment and involvement.

very important. a clear explanation by being specific by explaining what you are looking. a clear rubric clarifying what is the importance being sought.

Some of us have used gallery walks, escape rooms, and scavenger hunts. Incorporate real life skills. Engage a compilation of all learned skills.

We would like to know more about the authors background.  Has this content been tested in the classroom? We have been through this before and the author hasn't even been in a classroom.

In contrast, the content seems good but how can we implement that freely when we are bound by expectations from the state etc.

When you are not being  assessed and there is no "punishment" for being wrong or making mistakes.

Check ins and practice is ESSENTIAL before being assessed.

Feedback has to be given on the expectations.

As teachers we must allow students to choose the strategies that work for them. This helps them think for themselves.

If content isn't relevant to you on some level it will never be important. Applying content to real life scenarios is key.

Students thrive when they know they will use it in real life.

Creating an environment where being wrong doesn’t have a bad stigma attached.

Allowing for positive feedback and editing prior to turning in a final copy to encourage engagement between students and growth as an individual.

Working an assignment and re-working it also takes away the fear and pressure behind an assignment deadline.

The majority of my high school students want to know "Why" we are completing a lesson?  What is the purpose?  Content and Substance are very important - other design qualities (such as novelty and variety, affirmation, etc.) may bolster and enhance the lesson, but Content and Substance should be primary.

# data[].attributes.body
Authenticity is not what I, the teacher,  perceive to be real world knowledge.  It is that which is real to the student- such as skateboarding and acceleration.  Teachers need to link learning to areas of interest to students, in order for students to be engaged.  Enjoyment equals engagement, which equals long term learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Affirmation - For me, my students are staff, faculty and parents. They need to be affirmed that what is being presented to them is of importance.  It is also of importance how each of us is engaged and 'doing' the work. As a part of this learning community (CISD) all of our performance is important to each of us. Whether or not the teachers 'perform' is of the utmost importance to me. Whether or not I 'perform' is of the utmost importance to students, staff, and parents. So affirmation of what/how I present is important.

Affiliation is an interesting one to me, partially because in school and in college, I had a very love/hate relationship with this style of activity. I was involved in group activities and projects that worked really well and I learned a lot from them, but I was also involved in some group activities which were absolutely terrible Largely because of the classic problem of having my grade depend on one or two other people who weren't carrying their load or being in a group on a subject that I didn't feel like I could help with enough so that I didn't feel like someone earned my grade for me. That said, I've always seen the potential benefits of group work and have tired it several times to varying success. I think one of the things I need to try a little harder at is assigning various roles to different members of the groups when I split students up into them.

I also like that this quality suggests the assessment by someone other than the teacher. I will look into facilitating more peer review/assessment.
