media type="file" key="Classroom Engagement audio.m4a" width="300" height="50"Considering student engagement in the classroom, what standards incorporate or set the stage for student engagement? Throughout the semester we will explore student engagement with the previous question in mind, primarily through reflective discussion probes. According to John Dewey, we do not learn from experience; rather, we learn from reflecting on that experience. As we have discussed previously, reflection is a critical part of learning. It allows you to think deeply about the information taken in, to connect it to real life, and to examine ideas for classroom application. In view of these things, you will engage in reflective discussion throughout the semester. For each reflective discussion assignment, see the assignment sheet below. Follow the guidelines on it **__// and //__** the information outlined in the charts below.
