What student personal qualities do you think give rise to a lack of engagement? How should we develop these qualities? ]]> 2017-02-05 09:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/v_mcnair/5lck2w17hfyx/wish/151644407 Reduced Engagement ubercherryred https://padlet.com/v_mcnair/5lck2w17hfyx/wish/152288837 Can be caused by bad organisational skills and bad time keeping.

Qualities to develop are responsibility and pride in the student own work. positive reinforcement. ]]> 2017-02-07 20:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/v_mcnair/5lck2w17hfyx/wish/152288837 Ownership and taking responsibility; this could cover a lot of attributes such as timekeeping, team-work, using your initiative etc. judyatglenshesk https://padlet.com/v_mcnair/5lck2w17hfyx/wish/152321852 2017-02-07 22:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/v_mcnair/5lck2w17hfyx/wish/152321852 When students don't engage the first sign is an absence of communication. It can be tempting to then go to the students who do engage to keep the lesson moving but I try to give as much time and non-judgemental space as possible to encourage the 'resistors' to make some small contribution judyatglenshesk https://padlet.com/v_mcnair/5lck2w17hfyx/wish/152322186 2017-02-07 22:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/v_mcnair/5lck2w17hfyx/wish/152322186 Personal Qualities which may lead to lack of engagement traceyndavies https://padlet.com/v_mcnair/5lck2w17hfyx/wish/152441157 Lack of confidence
