Assignment

Teachers are expected to "manage the learning environment to actively and equitably engage students by organizing, allocating and coordinating the resources of time, space and learner's attention" (InTASC 3(d).

For this assignment, your principal has asked you to develop a presentation about student motivation and engagement strategies. This presentation will be used in a professional development workshop for first-year teachers.

Using the "Class Profile," select a grade 1-8 and create a 10-15 slide PowerPoint presentation. In completing your presentation:

• Research, analyze, and select seven strategies that foster motivation and active engagement in learning, self-motivation, and positive social interaction among the students.

• Explain each strategy in your own words.

• Identify classroom arrangements that are best for each engagement strategy.

Support your presentation with three scholarly resources.
