What strategies does the teacher use to actively engaged the students?
In the classroom, the teacher I am observing uses many different methods to keep her students engaged in the lesson. She makes sure to present many examples given by students, and tries to cater to different learning types by having a detailed discussion, in which she includes popcorn reading (taking turns reading) as well as asking frequent questions to make sure they understand exactly what she wants them to do. After the lesson, she will often have a group discussion where students are able to share verbally or present the work they have done. I think this method is effective for regrouping the class and evaluating the effectiveness of the lesson.
My favorite way she engages the students however, is when she has them do stations. She will set up different stations and each table and give them hands-on activities for a set period of time, where they have to complete a certain task before the time is up. I think this gives them a good routine, and helps them keep focused on what they are supposed to be doing.
