For Math 6, one of our goals was figuring out ways to increase engagement and we really wanted to try to do that by incorporating more new and different modes of learning in our lessons. Math 6 had not previously used Desmos for lessons so this was our students' first experience with learning on Desmos. I also incorporated Edpuzzle and breakout rooms in the lesson to put ownership on students for the learning rather than me!

Digital Word Wall and Anchor Chart Resource. Provides students with a resource that they can use throughout the unit to link back to what learning we did during class, including definitions, diagrams, processes, etc. Helps students become more independent learners.

Trying more things with breakout rooms and new roles to see if there is a change in engagement. I think it helped with productivity, and the conversations were a little more natural with some groups.

"Explain your thinking/talk about your thinking/present an argument/this opportunity to talk goes to..." Wording and sentence frames are Empowering students

Problem 3 - student comfort with not knowing an answer, but you empowered her to think through the problem in a different way to arrive at an answer.

Conditions you are setting to give them the "opportunity" to learn and it helps them see the value in the time they've been given.

Excitement for math and for teaching.  Brought passion and excitement to and for students.  - modeling emotional engagement

Ask questions to lead students to a deeper meaning "Can anyone give me a reason why we should rearrange the terms rather than finding common denominators".  Allows students to look at the same situation from a different perspective - the beauty of math!

"Be the lawyer, you don't always defend the side you believe in, but you must find a way to defend it."

Emphasis on reasoning and the process

Offered student choice with breakout rooms vs. work as individuals/whole group - work was more productive because it was their choice

Relationships were extremely evident in all that you said and did!

Take the remote students on the brain break - builds community, helps keep remote students engaged

empowerment: You can't give it...they have to feel in the classroom...the conditions were set. This opportunity to learn....
emotional engagement: parallel practice and modeled from teacher
Questioning for Feedback deepens engagement. Talk Moves!!!!  Choice and Agency drives engagement. Relationships!!!!!

"Being more excited about the math.  It's so contagious."

"Sometimes I get bogged down in the math.  I'll be more conscious of the wording - the opportunity to speak next".  It makes you feel like you're missing out.

Increase the amount of risk taking.  Even when kids said they didn't know, he built on that.   It's ok to not know - but it's not ok to stay there.

Sticks and the positive sentence stems.  I would like to work on sitting with student reasoning instead of driving them to your way of thinking.  Reasoning gets them to a deeper level.

We notice a drop in high engagement in 8th grade. How do we get students to be more consistently engaged day in and day out?
- maybe reward for risks?
- game show host, sell the opportunity
- Find something that feels authentic to your style
- Find the class currency
- want independence as 8th graders but more structure as 6th graders.

Camera incentive?
- product of that group
- pride paw incentive to turn mic
