Do you ever see a glazed look in your students\u2019 eyes? Heads in hands or slumped over desks? It\u2019s easy to spot when learners aren\u2019t fully engaged, and keeping students\u2019 attention through a whole class can be tricky. Everyone has a different attention span. U<\/a>nderstanding attention spans<\/a> is an integral part of classroom management. It\u2019s important to use the best engagement strategies available to you to increase student engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Teaching strategies to increase student motivation to learn, otherwise known as student engagement strategies have proven<\/a> to improve learning experiences and boost academic success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Student engagement is more than just stopping learners from falling asleep in class! Student engagement is when students arrive to class motivated to learn, participate in the lesson, and demonstrate a positive attitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are three types of student engagement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n When reviewing the below student engagement strategies please focus on the ones which you think will benefit your learners by piquing student interests, improving the learning process for learners, and helping them achieve their learning goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a busy classroom, distractions draw your students\u2019 attention away from your lesson and impact their learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Classroom management strategies help you build a structured learning environment where students are encouraged to be their best selves in the classroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n here are a few student motivation strategies to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sitting still for a whole lesson can be a bit much for some of your students. Active learning techniques encourage learners to work with their classmates to discuss a problem, solve an issue or drill down on a new concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If just a few students are participating the most, the rest of your students probably aren\u2019t staying engaged with the lesson. Here are some ideas to keep all learners engaged and accountable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n When students see themselves reflected in lessons and teaching materials, they\u2019re more likely to be engaged and empowered to share their perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When students understand your classroom is a place for everyone<\/a>, they\u2019re more likely to speak up, get involved and participate in the learning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooperative learning involves delivering instruction through small group work. The best part of cooperative learning is that it builds strong relationships in the classroom and works across different subjects and grade levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooperative learning prioritizes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Studies have found<\/a> that project-based learning helps create a learning environment where students are engaged and excited about learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The question should:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of following teacher-directed instruction, students develop critical thinking and interdisciplinary skills to keep them intellectually engaged in their learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Brain breaks<\/a> are quick exercises or activities that give students a way to channel some of the extra energy they\u2019ve stored up. In the middle of your class, pause for a few moments to do something fun and unexpected!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are a few of our favorite brain-break ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n What if you could challenge<\/a><\/em> your students to be more engaged? According to a 2011 study<\/u><\/a>, gamification in the classroom is correlated with increased student motivation and engagement. Gamification involves setting learning and behavior goals, then creating a points system where students can work their way towards the goal and earn a reward. Gamification also helps students set SMART <\/a>goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It doesn\u2019t have to be complicated, you could award points for the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is a student engagement strategy?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
