Engaging Curriculum

When a lesson is engaging, that is where the magic happens for our students.  We need to deliver our curriculum instruction in ways that are irresistible to young minds. Learner engagement occurs when the teachers sees what is essential in topic, and merges that with their own talents and passion.  It also happens when you create a place of learning where there are enough materials, avenues, and inquiries that make it so every single one of your students are engaged.  EVERY LESSON SHOULD BE MOTIVATIONAL. When lessons are engaging and motivational to students, then they are able to see the meaning in the lesson.  They are are also able to see value in their work, and the work of others.  I like this.  I don;'t think that it really takes all that much more effort to see that your lessons are engaging and fun. This sounds especially easy to me with differentiation.  I know that I am more motivated to do assignments that I am able to do, and that I know I will be successful at.  Kids are no different.

  1. When we have a real relationship with each student, this kind of on-going motivation is possible. And you are right -- it is so important, and every child deserves to learn in this way. 5 pts.
