In this course participants will wonder about, discuss, define, test out, and redefine student engagement.

The teaching term "student engagement" has a wide and varied usage in education.  In this course participants will share, enlarge, adapt, and redefine their ideas about engagement through watching videos, reading articles, trying out methods in their own classrooms, and by sharing and challenging each other. Together we will share the pros/cons, challenges and ease of different engagement methods to help students learn. Our focus will be on  open dialogue about all methods and the elements and nature of engagement itself. This course begins September 26 and ends November 6.

    Hi Jessica,

    I see you are still going through the course-that is great!  I hope it has been a worthwhile experience for you.

    We would love to get feedback as to this course (see week 6 course eval links) and P2PU school of ed  itself--link to eval is here.

     

    I hope you will take a few moments to fill us in on your thoughts!
