"taking what the teacher is saying and mold it into and area of interest for me so I can always stay connected"

Check up from the neck up would be used in the classroom with students using specific language to help the teacher help the students. Depending on grade level is how specific you can get.

 student needs to know their options to re-engage into the lesson or activity.
re-read
ask the teacher for help
ask another classmate for help

teachers would use charts, exit slips, or visual cues to help collect  student engagement levels.
