You are here because you are looking for ways to increase student engagement either in synchronous video lessons or in the classroom. Either way, you have come to the right place!
Here you will find that I have followed Jennifer Fredricks et al. (2004) in dividing engagement into three categories: Behavioural, Emotional, and Cognitive. It is through that lens that I have further separated how those three aspects can be addressed both in the synchronous video and classroom settings. Being a high school teacher, my perspective comes from dealing with teens, but you may find ways to adapt the suggestions for both younger and older students.
