    There are many ways to engage your students including:


    Learning Stations Cooperative Grouping Self Assessment Use of materials and resources Use of technology Use of manipulatives

    Learning Stations
    Learning stations are areas within the classroom where students work alone or interact with one another, using instructional materials to explore and expand their literacy. It is a place where a variety of activities reinforce and/or extend learning, often without the assistance of the classroom teacher. It is a time for students to practice reading, writing, speaking, listening, and working with letters.

    Cooperative Grouping
    Students of various learning abilities share responsibilities while working together to complete a task. They are responsible for their own learning.

    Cooperative Group Jobs

    Conclusion
    Engaging all learners is essential. Teachers are encouraged to strive for development of lessons that are engaging and motivating for a diverse class of students. Vary tasks within instruction as well as across students. In other words, an entire session for students should not consist of all drill and practice, or any single structure or activity.
