What is Engagement? [Lesson]

We teach students what it means to be engaged because active participation is key to meaningful learning. When students understand how to be engaged—whether it’s through listening actively, asking questions, or staying focused on tasks—they become more invested in their learning process. This lesson is designed to help students recognize the signs of engagement, such as using their hands, eyes, ears, and minds to stay involved, which leads to better understanding and retention of material. You can use this lesson as is, or use it as a springboard to create your own approach to teaching the importance of engagement in learning.
