Happy New Year! After 2 weeks and 3 weekends, we are back in school. It was evident we had a little “brain drain” over the holidays. Hopefully we can catch up and get moving by the end of the week. After winter break is when we pick up speed and move full steam ahead.
One of the things I truly believe is that student engagement is dependent on their voice and choice in both the planning and execution of learning. When we include even the youngest of children in the process, we get so much more concentrated effort from them. This concept is the same for adults. Aren’t we usually voicing concern as educators how our voice needs to be heard in the decisions made on behalf of our students? When we are excluded from the process of decision making, we are less likely to buy into whatever it is we are being asked to do. We are also less likely to implement changes with fidelity.
