Here, she discusses how you can increase student engagement through the use of an engagement rubric. You'll identify desired behaviors, undesired behaviors, challenging behaviors, and then finally, define what you think "perfect participation" looks like with engaged students.Schettler explains how you can develop and implement your own student engagement rubric to help communicate expected behaviors to your students. What will make your heart sing when you visualize perfect participation and how do you accomplish that? Find out in this episode! Also, feel free to download the engagement rubric Schettler uses in her own classes to inspire your own engagement rubric.Recommended resources: Melissa Schettler's Engagement Rubric ResourceTeaching Professor Virtual Conference available through Sept. 30, 2021Practical Solutions for Faculty: Engaging StudentsHow Do Mini-lectures Improve Student Engagement?Maximizing Student Engagement with Course ReadingsUsing Active Listening to Deepen Student Engagement in Live Remote Classes
