Perhaps it was that solar energy
Spurred by a magical stop in my tracks,
Against my will by traffic moment
Crossing the Hudson.
Perhaps it was the the lunar energy
Powered by an October Full Moon
Before a 3 day weekend of
Questionable determination
Perhaps, it was
A topic of yesterday's faculty meeting:
A topic of yesterday's faculty meeting:
Student Engagement
Lingering on my brain.
We can all agree that student engagement
Is a critial factor in good teaching
As well as student learning.
Yet it was in the hallway
On the dreaded morning duty
That I watched a classroom greeting
Through a warmed up lens.
Not individual handshakes
Not empty good mornings,
But, a carefully executed
Attempt at student engagement
Attempt at student engagement
By a seasoned teacher,
I am pretty sure I noticed
What was
What was
A four out of four
On student engagement
On any APPR rubric.
I know
It happens every day
They are eager to be learning
You can't pet a mouse and be uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Petting a mouse in the early morning light!
