14. What is ENGAGEMENT?
How do I involve my students in the learning
process?”
Fundamentals in Practice:
Knowing that active participation is key to learning, consider
adopting various ways that students can actively participate
in class. Active participation strengthens learning and,
ultimately, the effectiveness of your instruction.
15. What is REPRESENTATION?
How do I present essential course content to my students?”
Fundamentals in Practice:
Knowing that students access information in a variety of
formats (including auditory, visual and tactile), consider
varying how you express essential course content. This
increases the likelihood of information access and
comprehension and, ultimately, the effectiveness of your
instruction.
16. What is ACTION and EXPRESSION?
“How do I ask my students to show what they know?”
Fundamentals in Practice:
Knowing that students have preferences for how they
express themselves (orally, written and visually), consider
providing multiple ways for students to demonstrate their
competency. This increases the likelihood of their success
and, ultimately, the effectiveness of how you measure their
learning.

In the room, stand where you feel your significant learning moment occurred, in the Heart (why); Head (what); or Hand (how)
In pairs, discuss your moment and why you are where you stand
Online
Launch the whiteboard and draw a triangle.
Write your name in the location where your significant learning moment occurred.
In pairs or fours (depending on if you have audio/video); break out and discuss why you are landed where you are on the triangle
Yes, you are!
Start with a piece of paper and in the middle of the page, draw a spiral. Keep the spiral tight, thinking about control.
As you start think about yourself, and as you draw your spiral outward, consider your family and close friends, moving outwards consider your colleagues, and your community.
F2F:
At your tables, extend your arm out and draw giant circles. Draw guidelines along the top third and write, “I CAN DRAW” ensuring letters meet the top and bottom guides.
Online:
Using the whiteboard, draw circles
Now build a story using shapes
