10 tips to engage students in the classroom

Here are the ten tips from the video "10 Tips of Engaging Students in Active Learning."

1. Make the connection to real life.

2. Incorporate students interests.

3. Present in multiple formats. 

4. Offer choices.

5. Breakouts (groups).

6. Student lead activities.

7. Whole class participation.

8. Get students moving.

9. Chunk it out (break lessons into smaller sections)

10. Be enthusiastic.

I agree that all of these tips make for a successful classroom. Students will thrive in a classroom where all of the above are being practiced. Teachers are more likely to accommodate the learning styles of all students if these tips are used. It is my goal to be able to incorporate all of these tips into my teaching style. I have learned how important it is to provide a variety of activities for students and to make them feel that what they are learning is of significance.
