Participants will:
1. Read about the indicators of engaged leaning
2. Give examples of best practices in their teaching and learning experiences.
3. View examples of classrooms demonstrating engaged learning
4. Create an engaged learning lesson that they will implement in their classroom.
Student Task:
Participants will work in teams to brainstorm what the school of the future
should include. They will read about the digital kids in Don Tapscott's book,
"Growing Up Digital.". Teachers will read "Plugging In."
Participants will view examples of lessons and identify some of the indicators
of engaged learning. Participants will work together to identify how these lessons
might be edited to include more of the characteristics of engaged learning.

Assessment: The future school designs will be charted and displayed on the wall. Critical friends will do a gallery walk with post-its to add comments. The engaged learning lessons will be graded by the staff developer and returned with comments. When they implement the lesson in their classroom, the staff developer will be invited to attend
