This will help you form meaningful relationships with your students.
- We need to ensure that our student's voices are heard in the classroom (What do they want to learn? How do they want to learn?)
-Students are interested in solving real life problems, seeing how subjects are linked and working and learning from each other.
-Identity + Voice = Engagement and Learning

(Cummins, et al., 2005; Flessa et al., 2010; Leithwood, McAdie, Bascia, & Rodrigue, 2006; Willms, Friesen, & Milton, 2009). 
- Students as 'Partners in Change.' which gets students more involved in their learning, the quality of teaching and the school as a whole (Hargreaves & Shirley, 2009) 
-Inspired Instruction is all about making learning memorable and relevant and encourages us to want to learn more (Cummins, 2006). ]]> 2018-08-10 13:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/laura_malouin/vr32dj06e5s6/wish/272622862 laura_malouin https://padlet.com/laura_malouin/vr32dj06e5s6/wish/272622885 -Getting to know your students: Ice breaker activities, having conversations with your students about their interests or what they did over the weekend etc.
- Collaborative learning: get students working in mixed groupings to allow them to learn about, from and with each other.
- Make learning relatable (incorporate student's interests and use real life problems)
-What type of learners are your students? Use Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Survey to determine the types of learners in your class to guide instructional strategies.
-Communication with parents is key to increase student engagement and create a sense of community. 
-Provide cross-curricular connections where you can 
-Co-construct classroom rules and expectations with students
-Co-construct success criteria with students and have it visible in the classroom.
-Ensure your classroom is inclusive and that all students are represented.
-Display student work 
-Make learning visible in the classroom (use of the third teacher): anchor charts and interactive learning charts.
- Activate student's prior knowledge (diagnostic assessments)
-Have students participate in self and peer assessment: provides authentic feedback.

-Are my students engaged in their learning (on-task behaviour)?
