This week, my post focused on the relational aspect of engaging students. Essentially, if you know your students and what they enjoy, you can engage them in lessons catered to their interests. I was challenged by a classmate to think about larger schools and how difficult it can be to have a relationship with all of your students.
As I read others blog posts, I saw some inspiring ways to keep students engaged. One blog posted a video of a TEDx by David Burgess who speaks about teaching like a pirate. He demonstrates an absolutely engaging example of how to keep students engaged. His enthusiasm is enough to make you excited about anything he were to share. I saw this concept of passion in multiple classmates blog posts. Passion will make others listen! In reflection of my blog post and others, I still believe that it is crucial to have a relationship with our students. To know them and them know we care about them will create a relationship of trust and increase engagement. However, engagement requires more than just a relationship, it take thought, innovation, and passion to keep the interest of our students.
