Instructional strategies to increase student engagement
Teachers are encouraged to preview and prepare lessons ahead of time and use universal access suggestions. Advanced preparation techniques such as tips, videos, visuals, or images can also enhance student engagement.
Additionally, teachers may choose from a variety of methods to interact with students and keep them engaged:
- Adding movement
- Partner grouping, like “Peanut Butter and Jelly”
- Using artifacts and providing digital support
- Support or challenging students with tips in the sidebar of the Teacher’s Guide
Teacher enthusiasm in delivering lessons engages students and increases motivation.
