Engaged teaching

A good resource about classroom engagement and learning, especially from a teacher's perspective...
How to make your teaching more engaging...

• Use emotions 
• Students learn better when the DO things.
• Mix up activities and teaching styles
• Engagement is different from entertainment
• Plan chunks of the duration, rather than the whole lot
• Make learning relevant to their daily lives
• Your persona matters
• Help students fall in love with the subject... you need to love it first of all! 
• Take risk, freshen up your material
• Know your students, help them build a rapport with one another
• Tell your own stories, use humour...
