Habits that RE-SPARK Engagement
Student engagement is hard.
RE-SPARK habits are evidence-based techniques to nurture routine engagement and belonging for every voice.
There is no student manual on how to listen, focus, and work well in groups. Turn-taking leads to some students dominating the conversation while others sit quietly. Facilitating discussion on divisive questions is tricky and getting some students to talk can feel near impossible.
Which red question are you most often asking yourself?
Consider one of the following habits to RE-SPARK engagement in all learners!
"Are they listening?!"
"Why is nobody (or the same ones) answering?"
"What's a simple way to get them working cooperatively?"
"Why do most students tune out while the same few always answer?"
"How can I get them to open up more? What are they thinking?"
"How can I make the entrance less disruptive?"
"How can I reduce off-topic comments to each other?!"
