Student Engagement

Student engagement is critical to academic success, and teachers must build positive student–teacher relationships to foster active engagement and motivate reluctant learners.

Teachers promote engagement by connecting learning to students’ lives (e. g., knowing students’ academic and cultural backgrounds) and using a variety of teacher-led (e.g., choral responding and response cards), peer-assisted (e. g., cooperative learning and peer tutoring), student-regulated (e.g., self-management), and technology-supported strategies shown empirically to increase student engagement. Monitoring student engagement and providing positive, constructive feedback can help sustain active student engagement and improve outcomes.

What CEC Means to Me

Ontario Unit
They say, “time flies when you are having fun,” and this certainly applies to my time as an educator for the past 32 years and CEC member for 18 of these years. My introduction to the collegiality that is CEC was as a doctoral student when I made my first conference presentation based on my work with an after-school literacy program. Immediately, I felt welcomed and valued as a novice conference presenter.

I’m exhausted. In a strange way, I hope you are too, because perhaps that means you were as fortunate as I was to attend the recently concluded CEC Convention in Louisville.
