Student Engagement, Part 1: 3 Levels of Engagement | Episode 5 | The Edu20/20 Podcast

“Just make it more engaging” is among the most common feedback teachers get...and the least helpful. You're basically asking the instructional equivalent of “have you tried being better?”😅 In this episode of The Edu20/20 Podcast, Courtney and Shannon unpack what “engagement” actually means, break down the 3 levels of student engagement, and explain why fun doesn’t always equal learning. You’ll hear the real story behind Shannon’s student engagement trauma (including a full-on grammar triage situation with a doctor coat and a cow syringe… yes, really), and why fun doesn’t automatically equal learning. In this episode, we break down the 3 levels of student engagement: ✅ Management (because if kids are on the ceiling, learning isn’t happening) ✅ Participation & compliance (they’re doing the thing, but can still opt out) ✅ Engagement for learning (deep thinking, real accountability, no hiding) We also talk about how to collect real classroom engagement data (not test scores), why “hogs and logs” happen during turn-and-talk, and simple ways to level up engagement so every student owns the thinking. 🎓 Want more support?
