Linking Learner Engagement to the Microenvironment as a Tool for Student Success

Course Description

Research has demonstrated that engaging students in the learning process increases their attention and focus, motivates them to practice higher-level critical thinking skills, and promotes meaningful learning experiences. But how do you know if your students are truly engaged and learning?

Participants will take a deeper dive into what student engagement is and how educators might ‘hit a brick wall’ by simply not focusing on all the components of Student Engagement, including the microenvironment and the “science” behind the classroom design.

This presentation will explore the following:

  • Student Engagement Research
  • Components of Student Engagement
  • Key elements of a Prosocial Classroom
