What can we do in the classroom to help our students to become engaged in their work, to be fully involved? This post is a follow-up to one written in June 2011, and provides a "variety of strategies and approaches" you may try to help move students from being on-task to being engaged. To whet your appetite, here are the first two.
* Ask questions that don't have right or wrong answers. Seek student opinions, allow argumentation, encourage persuasion, and teach students how to disagree and debate in a positive way.
* Strike a balance between praise and feedback. Grant Wiggins, co-author of Understanding by Design points out that praise, "Keeps me in the game, but doesn't help me get any better." While praise may encourage effort, specific feedback is necessary in order to truly learn and grow.

There was a time when my sole purpose for living and breathing, my ultimate dream, was to sign a contract -- a contract to play professional baseball. I simply wanted the opportunity to work hard in order to create a better me for the entire team. What if you take that energy and put it in your classroom, allowing students to sign a contract? This post shares the experience of a teacher in an American Literature course who began a project-based learning assignment that provided options for the students to demonstrate their learning through a project of their choice.
