We talk A BUNCH about student engagement, academic discussion, and facilitating better/more effective discussions with our students.  In fact, our "Ideal Classroom" activity at our faculty meeting on Tuesday had the common theme: STUDENT ENGAGEMENT....
How do we get away from the BLANK STARE when you ask a question to  the class or to your small group?  How can you train yourself to get our students more engaged with your questions?  How can you increase participation and avoid awkward silence?
Take a look at THIS ARTICLE which gives you some quick and easy fixes to avoid those awkward moments and get a MUCH higher participation rate!!

You all know I LOVE Kid President and he is all grown up (well, sort of) and he is STILL spreading love and kindness and pep talks.  Take a few short minutes to put a smile on your face and watch him!  It's worth it =)
