Advisor(s): Trisha Daningburg and Daniel Watkins, NHC Teacher Advisory Council

Is your classroom engaging? Students’ lives outside of our classrooms are complex; their personal lives inevitably impact not only their educational experiences but also their capacities to engage with the material. Meeting this challenge is crucial to our work as educators. Attaining high levels of cognitive engagement requires teachers to intentionally design instructional spaces that also attend to behavioral and emotional engagement.

This webinar will offer questions to ponder and strategies to enact as you create opportunities for adult learners that place care and engagement at the forefront.
