1) An engaging attention signal that is inclusive of student voice (Students get the opportunity to vote on it, choose it?).
2) An attention signal that is implemented before I give directions. . .
3) I waited until ALL students responded, acknowledged it in some way. . .
4) I delivered directions that were clear, concise - what is the movement; the practice - what they are doing; and the volume?
5) Friendly reminder: Never mix directions with instructions (instructions include the content - details of the activity). . .

Truly authentic praise requires that you get to know the student and invest in them, hopefully seeing their 'self' truly, and that you invest in that.

For example, let's say a high school teacher has an implicit bias where he or she expects their students of color to achieve less academically.

I'm not sure what the demographics are in the class, but students who need special accommodations did not receive those during this instruction. The teacher also did not seem confident, but I did enjoy seeing how they used guiding statements to help students know where to start, but when a student answered I feel like there was a lot of talking from the teacher and not much listening. There was also no words of encouragement from the teacher when a student answered. Overall in my opinion I do believe that the teacher is working hard to be the best they can be, but can also have more confidence. ]]> 2022-06-22 18:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nikcasey/69qu527plsph68s5/wish/2228103451 kkisbye https://padlet.com/nikcasey/69qu527plsph68s5/wish/2228103546 One student was giggling with another.

Maybe this student had a long night and wasn't able to engage in the lesson, but it is also important to remember when other students see a student doing that in class, it is more likely others will be disengaged as well. It is almost like a "well they aren't doing this so why do I have to?" mindset. ]]> 2022-06-22 18:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nikcasey/69qu527plsph68s5/wish/2228106249 https://padlet.com/nikcasey/69qu527plsph68s5/wish/2228106278 I felt like the student was maybe having a day or had kind of written the lesson off/decided to push boundaries bc they could pick up on the teacher's inexperience.

On the other hand, it could have been to block out all of the fidgeting/things happening so they could actually pay attention, esp if they are an auditory learner.

I think this action is allowing the student to reset and be in a level state of mind.

Thus, as a teacher, I would assume that they would want me to see this, to know that something is off. Hence, I think this would be an appropriate place to ask the student to check in with me 1:1 to make sure everything is okay and see how I can help them succeed]]> 2022-06-22 18:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nikcasey/69qu527plsph68s5/wish/2228108352 https://padlet.com/nikcasey/69qu527plsph68s5/wish/2228108356 After watching the video, I concluded that the students did not retain the information and would not be responding to the questions asked by the teacher. 
In this scenario, I believe I would have attempted to energize the class and bring everyones attention to the activity in some way. Possibly through an attention signal, then maybe one-on-one conversations to check understanding.

I've had personal experiences coaching students who are disengaged, push the boundaries, or just need to cut out feedback to focus on what appeared to be a pretty auditory-focused lesson. 

Action would be calling that student's attention in a less subtle way during the lesson. If that didn't work, I'd try to approach that student for a 1-1 on what's up, that the behavior (depending on the reason) isn't acceptable and *here's why*, and ask what we can both do to help the student be more engaged.]]> 2022-06-22 18:41:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nikcasey/69qu527plsph68s5/wish/2228108498 estefanydorado22 https://padlet.com/nikcasey/69qu527plsph68s5/wish/2228108658 Ultimately, the students were probably feeding off the teacher's energy, which made me think that these students were disengage.
