Teachers Need Teachers - A podcast by Kim Lepre
Categories:
All teachers know that student engagement is essential for successfully teaching a lesson. Why? Because students don't necessarily want to learn and participate in school, and as a result, miss out on mastering important skills. When students are engaged, they switch on their natural curiosity and are self-motivated to learn, explore, and solve problems. But it's up to teachers to create optimal learning experiences to foster this passion for learning, which can at times be difficult to do. Here are five tried-and-true ways to create lessons that keep students engaged and hooked from the start to finish.
5 ways to create an engaging lesson or unit
- Give them an essential question/challenge
- Give student choice
- Connect the work to student interests
- Give them real-world scenarios - Make them demonstrate their learning rather than just completing a worksheet
- Showcase student work
