A2 All in or nothing; people show interested with body language and more than just worlds. #teachmindful

STEAMuptheClsrm Oct 12 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Engagement is being focused and absorbed in what you are learning/doing. #teachmindful

In reply to @ChouinardJahant

#TeachMindful A2: Absorbed, focused, enthralled - time flies when you're engaged.

Skymazef3 Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

#teachmindful a1 When engaged to the max I am always shocked how time has flown. #teacherlife

#teachmindful Q3-Does engagement mean comprehension?

ChouinardJahant - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

#teachmindful I agree sitting up strait, eye contact even a more relaxed feel you can tell when your students buy in or sell out

In reply to @Hahne_Elyse

ChouinardJahant - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:43 PM EDT

#teachmindful So true. I find though that even my most quiet of students- maybe not participating publicly are engaged more so- quiet engage

A3 Engagement may not always mean comprehension. It's the whole experience that makes a difference. #teachmindful

I'm a little tense right now,@Cubs are playing! Hi Steve SPED teacher IA😟#teachmindful

stephwurking Oct 12 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A3: It means being willing to comprehend and to learn. #teachmindful

#teachmindful Q3-Does engagement mean comprehension?

STEAMuptheClsrm Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Being engaged def leads to further comprehension-if u like what ur learning, u want to keep trying #teachmindful

In reply to @ChouinardJahant

ChouinardJahant - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

#teachmindful Unfortuneately no- we need to make sure that understanding comes w/action.

ChouinardJahant - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

#teachmindful Q3-Does engagement mean comprehension?

STEAMuptheClsrm Oct 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

But it doesn't guarantee comprehension 🙌🏻 #teachmindful

In reply to @ChouinardJahant

Stella_Pollard Oct 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A3: no. Enegaement means the students are interested. To comprehend, they must be engaged but we must also provide learning op #teachmindful

ChouinardJahant - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

#teachmindful I think a little comprehension tags along but reinforcement is key.

ChouinardJahant - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

#teachmindful a2 If ss are ferociously focussed in signing, they blink less. It's why we break so often or eyes get sore #auslan

#teachmindful I find it fascinating the answer of engagement does not mean comprehension- I asked my students the same question.

Hahne_Elyse Oct 12 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A4 Know your students. Adjust instruction as necessary to meet their needs. #teachmindful

ChouinardJahant - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:49 PM EDT

#teachmindful Last question up in one minute...

ChouinardJahant - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:49 PM EDT

#teachmindful They replied engagement mean we are listening, comprehension means we are interested and curious- we need both for learning

Skymazef3 Oct 12 @ 9:49 PM EDT

#teachmindful a4 This answer is a great balance between engagement and comprehension work. Practice, theory, play, perform #aussieed

#teachmindful I think ultimately we all go through cycles even in 1 class period- highs= engagement and active learning and bouts of boredom

SaraKiffe Oct 12 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A4: Observe body language, ask lots of questions, encourage Ss to ask questions so we can all be engaged and learn. #teachmindful

#teachmindful Q5-Keeping yourself engaged and motivated.

ChouinardJahant - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:52 PM EDT

#teachmindful Agreed- reflection is so important then even with engagement they can comprehend and assimilate too- gives them concrete data

In reply to @stephwurking

ChouinardJahant - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:52 PM EDT

#teachmindful Set intentions. re-examine why I was engaged in the first place. Commit to follow-through- stay intrigued and curious
