Classroom Climate Visual: Engagement and Motivation

Assessment Description

Self-regulated, independent learners are more likely to take ownership for their success. Motivation and engagement are key characteristics of independent learners. Once self-regulated learners are motivated to perform, their level of engagement increases during instruction. A teacher’s role is to establish a culture of personal motivation, inspiring them through instructional strategies.

For this assignment, create a digital poster that could be displayed in your future classroom. Possible programs for creating this poster include, but are not limited to, Word, Publisher, and Poster My Wall.

Include the following in your poster:
Representation of a classroom culture to foster engagement and motivation
A routine in the classroom allowing for ownership of learning, independent working centers, or additional activities that can be completed independently
The student’s role, the teacher’s role, and the expectations of both to maintain a positive environment and manage behaviors.
In addition to the visual poster, include a 200-500 word rationale to describe:

The relationship between engagement and motivation.
How motivation and engagement in the learning environment can influence self-regulated learners
How motivation and engagement in the learning environment supports diverse learning needs
