    Q1 In schools, how does student engagement look different from student compliance? #fcsvanguard
  • suzannelaisney May 4 @ 7:37 PM EDT
    #fcsvanguard Engagement means there is choice in what is learned and the manner it's learned Compliance is just "following directions!"
  • hillside_media May 4 @ 7:37 PM EDT
    A1 student engagement may involve more creativity, not just getting the "right" answer. #fcsvanguard

  • MrsHCox - Moderator May 4 @ 7:47 PM EDT
