-  Teachers should see students as "partners in change" which means students have a more active role in their learning in order to support engagement. 
- According to several studies on disengagement, what students want is to solve real problems, engage in course material that is relevant to their lives and which can help them make a difference in the world, and to see how subjects are interconnected.

- For example: the idea that students learn language by interacting with others and using their learning as a tool to do something else, something new and meaningful.
- Another example: "learners should have background knowledge in the subject area to be able to relate to the context..."(Coelho, p.146)

multitude of cultures and languages should be welcomed in class as a way of engaging students.
- Display student work in the class that is representative of all the class- no voices or groups should be marginalized by not having their work put up.
- Use success criteria and self assessment as a way of engaging students
- Students should be a part of the creation of this success criteria. 
-Teach social and emotional skills to help students build and maintain relationships- these should be modeled taught and practiced.

- How far do students live from local library?
- Do students have responsibilities at home?
(Ask these questions to yourself, then investigate through an open dialogue with students)]]> 2017-01-29 06:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lukezaya/un2l7fv11qsi/wish/150070041 lukezaya https://padlet.com/lukezaya/un2l7fv11qsi/wish/150070056 - I would like to know more about/ have a better understanding of using success criteria in my teaching practice
- The monograph mentions that a way to make the classroom a safe space for students to express themselves is that "we should be alert to our own discomfort." I wonder what is the next step after simply being alert to our discomfort? Should we bring this discomfort up with our students as starting point for discussion? Or maybe with our colleagues as a means of pushing conversations about difficult issues forward? ]]> 2017-01-29 06:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lukezaya/un2l7fv11qsi/wish/150070056
