Engagement is a key to learning. So, what are the teacher moves that help increase student engagement? This session will share the research that informs our engagement efforts, and will provide easy and intentional moves to increase student engagement across the school year. Bring a planner so that you can embed the specific practices that will work in your classroom. We will explore ideas that work best with Kindergarten all the way through high school and beyond. Build these intentional engagement moves into your school year to support student learning.
