 * Examples/non-examples
 * Good- Student centered, deeper thinking, ENGAGEMENT- discipline specific pedagogy
 * Not as good- Lectures, writing tasks (without ties to text), guided notes, book work
 * edTPA teaching strategies are an ideal, but not necessarily always applicable- systemic and policy guidelines that restrict its applicability
 * Often edTPA type teaching needs supplemental work- students need a foundation upon which to build their arguments and thinking skills
 * Engagement Strategies
 * via learning (content knowledge) and via "buy in" (participation)
 * Choose an engagement strategy and model for 1 minute
