Use formative assessments to gauge student understanding and adjust instruction accordingly to maintain student engagement. 5. Provide timely and specific feedback to students to encourage active participation and improve their learning experience. 6. Reflect on instructional practices regularly and make necessary adjustments to enhance student engagement and participation. 7. Seek feedback from students through surveys or class discussions to gather their perspectives on the effectiveness of instructional strategies used. 8. Monitor and document student engagement and participation levels during whole group instruction through observation and anecdotal records. 9. Analyze student achievement data to determine the impact of improved instructional strategies on student learning and adjust instruction as needed. 10. Share successful instructional strategies and outcomes with colleagues to promote a culture of continuous improvement in student engagement and participation.
