Workshop Description
Student engagement happens as a result of a teacher’s careful planning and execution of specific strategies. This basic premise drives Dr. Marzano's workshop. Specific attention is paid to engagement strategies and a comprehensive framework of effective teaching that schools and districts can put into place immediately or use to generate their own models. Marzano’s model is articulated in design questions teachers ask themselves as they plan a unit of instruction. We now know that effective teachers are made, not born, and that even small increments in teacher effectiveness can have a positive effect on student engagement and achievement.
Participants explored the four emblematic questions students ask themselves, the answers to which determine how involved they are in classroom activities.
- How do I feel? (addresses the affective side of learning)
- Am I interested? (deals with the extent to which classroom activities are intriguing enough to capture students’ attention)
- Is this important? (addresses the extent to which students perceive classroom goals as related to their personal goals)
- Can I do this? (deals with the extent to which students have or cultivate a sense of self-efficacy—a more long-term phenomenon lasting beyond the parameters of a single class period
