Case: Engaging High School Students
I am teaching in a High School learning strategies for my internship this semester and many of the morning class students, are not engaged in the content that we are teaching them. It is a struggle to get them to keep their heads up and engaged in the lesson, and even though I have tried to incorporate participation points, questioning, etc. they just do not want to be apart of the class. I get that the subject matter is a bit dry and boring, which is somewhat out of my control - but how can I get these students to care about their own learning?!?!?!
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I feel that student engagement is created through the lessons and the teacher. So, if you believe that the subject matter is dry and boring, and your students sense that, they're not going to want to be engaged in your lessons no matter how many participation points you offer. If you want the students to be engaged, come in excited about the content and with an interesting and creative way of teaching the content. Students often become bored of the same monotonous teaching methods, day after day, so switching it up and doing something new could really help. |

| Comments: I completely agree with your response! It is so true that students can sense if you, the teacher, thinks that the content is boring. Coming in excited and pumped up for the day is definitely a great way to get students excited to be at school as well as excited to learn. |

| Comments: I agree that students are likely to pick up on their teachers attitudes and are more inclined to perceive that material as boring and insignificant if the teacher also feels this way. Making the content meaningful and interesting to the students through unique activities and lessons will help them feel more engaged and connected to the content being learned. |

| Comments: I absolutely agree! It's like students have some sort of 6th sense, haha. They will definitely tell if you are doing this just to do this, or if you're actually passionate about the subject (and if not about the subject, at least excited to be working with and teaching them). |

| Comments: I agree with this solution. If the material is dry and boring do something to add some spice to it for them. Liven it up some. Remember its the morning classes that are struggling the most. Teenagers typically are not morning people and it takes them a couple hours to wake up. Knowing this you are going to have to do something to catch their attention. |

| Comments: This is a great solution! As the teacher dictates and strongly influences how the rest of the class will respond to the lesson. As you suggested if the teacher comes in excited and engaged in the content the students will more likely be able to do the same. Offering some variety in the content would be beneficial. |
