Kelsey Beckwith wants to increase student engagement during whole group instruction. Her goals are for students to be more engaged in lessons and participate more often, which she believes will help their understanding and performance. To determine if her student learning goals are being met, she may collect grades after lessons where she implements engagement strategies or do informal assessments during lessons. She thinks taking students' interests into account will help them learn better and make her a stronger teacher, and informal assessments during lessons could provide data on the effectiveness of engagement strategies she tries.

Wondering: How can I increase student engagement during whole group instruction? What are your goals for student learning related to your inquiry? I would like to see my students be more engaged during lessons and to participate more often. I believe this will help their understanding and be reflected in their work/grades. What formative or diagnostic data might you collect to determine if your student learning goals are being met? I might collect grades after lesson(s) where I implement a research-based strategy or take quick informal assessments during the lesson(s). As you reflect on your work last semester, what ideas do you have for changes/actions/strategies in your teaching practice that you might make to support your student learning goals? I think if I take my students interests into consideration, they will benefit more from my lessons and I will become a stronger teacher. What data might you collect related to the changes/actions/strategies you are trying in your teaching practice? I could use informal assessments as a way to collect data during a lesson in conjunction with my lesson plans showing the research-based strategies I used.
