[Sam Sherratt @sherrattsam]

Increasing agency involves unlearning compliance, something that might take many of our students - and maybe us - some time.

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

I don't like when people say, "we need to prepare our students for the real world." The truth is, some of them are experiencing more of a "real world" than we will ever know. What we need to do is prepare them for a better world.

If a teacher does not have the awareness of when students are disengaged and execute appropriate strategies, he/she will probably not keep students engaged at any level. Executing this element can take many forms, like below. #NASOT

[Robert J. Marzano @robertjmarzano]

These strategies are geared toward getting as many students as possible to answer any given question. #NASOT #studentengagement
