We usually come over the sisters and go to Evanston for our FT, otherwise we have to drive 2 hours to get to the zoo. The great thing about WY is the wide open space but it puts us at a disadvantage too. #teacherfriends

#TeacherFriends A2: To help keep engagement strong, we work for group or individual @ClassDojo points.Whole group incentive is for a party or treat.Individual is for a variety of things.Lunch with T or choice of centers first, etc.
A2: Can we even answer this in 140 characters?!? Integrating technology is one of my favorite ways to hook/engage students into a lesson. @quizizz@GetKahoot@plickers are some of my favorites! Quick, easy, content-driven, and most importantly a whole lot of FUN! #TeacherFriends

Call & Responses, Chants/Cheers, and Class Songs keep engagement up and keep your lesson moving! Check out this video of my good friend @hopekingteach ’s students kicking off science class! https://t.co/5qP137cp8E#TeacherFriends
A2: Engagement happens when connections are made! Teaching w/ a concept, framed in an Arts-based method utilizes the strengths (VAK) of all learners! #artfullearning#teacherfriends

#TeacherFriends A real breath of fresh air knowing Ts are beginning to see games and real fun as inlets to learning! Easier to learn when it is enjoyable!
A3: Students not being engaged is a direct reflection on us as the adults. We need to push ourselves harder with our planning/energy towards engagement to make sure ALL students are engaged. 99% just isn’t good enough! Good teaching is 25% Prep and 75% Theater! #TeacherFriends
#TeacherFriends A3:Moving Ss to another area to work is a quick fix.Monitoring activities chosen, then adjusting to calmer/more engaging activities helps in long term.

Although preparation is important, student engagement can be created without anything at all. Just YOU as the teacher! As teachers, it’s easy to see when we don’t have “100%.” It’s our job to figure out how to add that spark in the moment sometimes! #TeacherFriends

A take away from reading institute this summer - it is fine to stop a minilesson if it's not going well - students don't know the difference #teacherfriends

From POV of a sub I Love when I see kids engaged with each other as they use apps. Their excitement in collaborating and sharing as they teach each other is even in body language, language and pure JOY! #TeacherFriends
#TeacherFriends A4 cont'd. For "that" student, place in close proximity of T, but still allow movement within the workspace. Use peer partner to help S reach a set goal together.Both parties have to help in order to earn points, etc.
A4: As a teacher, you can just tell..facial expressions, "can I go to the bathroom", overall restlessness. I've stopped mid-lesson before and followed the needs of my Ss. #teacherfriends
#teacherfriends A4-Get to know "that" student, likes, hobbies, etc. Use 2-4-10 strategy Talk to that student for 2 minutes at a time 4 -10 straight school days
