Student engagement in learning is the centerpiece of the Framework for Teaching; all other components contribute to it. The elements of component 3c are:
- Activities and assignments -Activities and assignments that promote learning require student thinking that emphasizes depth over breadth and encourage students to explain their thinking.
- Grouping of students - How students are grouped for instruction (whole class, small groups, pairs, indiv.) is one of the many decisions teachers make every day.
- Instructional materials and resources - The instructional materials a teacher selects to use in the classroom can have an enormous impact on students’ experience.
- Structure and pacing - No one, whether an adult or a student, likes to be either bored or rushed in completing a task. Keeping things moving, within a well-defined structure, is one of the marks of an experienced teacher. And since much of student learning results from their reflection on what they
have done, a well-designed lesson includes time for reflection and closure
