Engaging Students
• On some good days we may have 70% of our students engaged in learning.
• Good teachers make sure that it is a different 70% that is engaged throughout our time with the students and all students are engaged at some point in time.

So why is it necessary to change up instruction?
As your brain gets numb-er Your brain gets dumber

Changing STATES
Change up instruction 5-10 min. for pre-adolescents, and
Every 10-20 minutes for adolescents into adults.

Thinking About It
• Why would you want to change states when you finally have students quiet, sitting in their seats, and looking like they are listening to you?
• Because the brain needs a chance to refocus and start again.
• When you stand up blood flow to the brain increases.

The Importance of Processing Time
• The brain needs time to create connections and pathways to create long term memories.
• The hippocampus can only hold so much • Example of glass of water.• Too much, to fast, it won’t Last.• 10-2 or 5-1 rule

Art and Science of Teaching
• Question #5: What will I do to engage students?
• The teacher uses academic games and inconsequential competition to maintain student engagement.
![Page 10: Academic Games Toby Boss Educational Service Unit #6](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56649f155503460f94c2a239/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Games and Inconsequential(Just for Fun) Competition
• Games should always have an academic focus.• Regroup students so that all students
experience winning and losing.• Points are tallied but not used to increase or
decrease scores or grades.

Research on The Use of Games to Improve Student Learning
Marzano Research Lab reports the results of three meta-analyses.
Student growth in classrooms that used games ranged from a 13 percentile gain to an 18 percentile gain.
This is significant.
