What strategies does the teacher use to actively engage the students? How effective are these?
For this blog entry I would like to mention my favorite things that the Teacher I was observing to engage the students was his tone of voice. He always kept it interesting. I never felt like he was boring or monotone. This helped keep the kids on many different levels. Whether it was understand what he was saying or just paying attention. He was entertaining but also teaching these children at the same time.
Another thing that he used was letting the kids take turns to do different activities. They use a smart board in their classroom and to keep the kids engaged he would pick on one who was behaving and paying good attention to come move an item on the smart board, or to click on it. It was cute to see how excited the kids would be to move a picture of a sandwich to calendar to show what they are having for lunch that day. It also kept them engaged and excited.
