Engagement- We are connecting the lessons to the student's lives. The driving question in planning is why will they care?
What can teachers do to increase engagement? - This is a significant job.
Enrichment- The lessons and units should have a global perspective and real world connection. They should push beyond the TEKS. The focus should be on individualizing content for each student. Value added opportunities for students.
Empowerment- Student voice and choice. The students help drive the learning. They feel more connected in the curriculum if they they are heard and have a choice.
