Episode Summary: When it comes to simple engagement strategies, teachers often get nervous. There is a common misconception that in order to have all students engaged, it is way more work on the teacher. I am here to tell you that not only is that not the case, but once these student engagement strategies are routine, they almost run themselves.

Episode Summary: A simple Google search will show you that teachers trying to find the classroom management skills that will work for their students are not only plentiful but can be completely overwhelming. We know a solid classroom management routine is vital in running an effective classroom, but finding that system that incorporates behavior, student engagement, and (less) teacher stress seems hard to find.

So many teachers, at some point in their career, find themselves wondering, “How do my classroom management strategies address these (fill in the blank) classroom behaviors?”  You need to know what problems exist in order to find the answer.

Episode Summary: When you are looking for behavioral engagement in the classroom, you are trying to observe students being actively involved in the learning process. Commonly deemed “participation”, behavioral engagement flourishes with routines, assignments, activities, and cues that help students know not only what is expected of them but is also conducive to learning overall.

Episode summary: There are many Engaging Classroom Activities for Middle Schoolers that can be used in school, at home, or at after-school activities. Engaging Classroom Activities for Middle Schoolers which are fun and interesting can help increase the flow of learning, which is always the goal.

However, sometimes it is difficult with this “too cool for school” age group. It is hard to find the balance between too childish and too mature to get to that sweet spot that gets the students excited about participating each day.  Engaging Classroom Activities for Middle Schoolers can be a challenge.

Engagement is so important during these years since it will influence whether or not they enjoy learning, their perception of school, and most likely whether or not they will continue to pursue further education. Engaging Classroom Activities for Middle Schoolers can play a big role in these things.

Episode Summary: There is nothing worse than thinking a lesson is going well and then realizing once you are at the point of no return that it is missing the mark with your students. It is important to be doing checks that are automatically implemented into any lesson to make sure that not only is the information sinking in, but plainly stated, you are able to measure student engagement in the classroom. If you've ever wondered how to measure student engagement in the classroom, this is the episode for you.

Episode Summary: A student-centered curriculum is developed based on the premise that the students have both choice and the responsibility to determine what their learning needs are and how to proceed in meeting those needs. It allows them to dive deeper into context and to find ways to engage in classroom content on a deeper level than they would with a traditional teacher-centered model.

This allows them to gain a deeper knowledge base than they would with a traditional teacher-centered classroom, as they are no longer just memorizing information but are actively engaging with it, leading to a deeper understanding and more long-term success in retaining the information that has been taught.

Though it seems like it would be extremely difficult for a child to determine how he or she learns best, with the right teacher guidance and facilitation, the choices laid before them naturally differentiate for each student, and in time, they more thoroughly understand what they need to succeed in the classroom.

Episode Summary: Teacher-Directed vs. Student-Centered Instruction is a common comparison in today’s educational spectrum. However, there is generally some confusion between not only what each one is, but the similarities and differences between them. The number one piece to remember in both instructional techniques is that wholeheartedly the teacher is 110% in charge of what is going on in the classroom.

So often there is a misconception that the teacher is no longer in charge of a student-led classroom. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Just because their visual role within a classroom full of students is not the same, it does not mean they are not still completely dictating everything that happens.

While the number of similarities between teacher-directed vs student-centered instruction is vast, here are five important differences that any educator needs to understand when determining the best method for their classroom.
