​

PEDAGOGY vs. PERSONALITY

1. If you were engaged with your lesson, your students probably were engaged learning your lesson.
2. If a student has an enjoyable memory associated with the learning of information, that knowledge is more likely to be stored in long term memory than discarded from their memory bin.
3. The kids are DESPERATE to be pulled into the content.
4. “Engagement isn’t about easy or fun. It’s about willingness to work and triggering the ability to connect with the learning.” - Heather Wolpert-Gawron
